The End of the Law for Righteousness

Romans 10:1-4

Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

…..

This is profound.  Lip service is given to the previous verses, but rarely is it embodied.  My prayer is that we will increasingly submit to God’s righteousness in Christ, recognizing the futility of our efforts and joyfully experiencing His pleasure in Christ.
