Romans 10:1–4 (NIV)
1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

1. Our Passion for the Gospel Must Include a Compassion for Lost Souls (1).

2. Our Pursuit of God Cannot Be Based on Sincerity (Zeal) Alone; It Must Be Accompanied by Truth (2).

3. Our Position as Justified Before God Cannot Be Attained by Our Own Good Works; It Can Only Be Granted on the Basis of the Righteousness of God (3).

4. Our Perception of the Law of God Must Include an Understanding of Its Proper Goal: Christ (4).
