Romans 10:1-4

1My Christian friends, I want God to save Israel's people. I want that very much. I pray to God that he will save them.

2I can say this about them: They really want to serve God well. But they do not understand the right way to do this.

3They have not understood the way that God accepts people. Instead, they tried to make their own way to become right with God. They refused to accept God's way that would make them right with him.

4God gave his Law to Israel's people for a purpose. But Christ has finished that purpose. So now, every person who believes in Christ becomes right with God.
