Wednesday May 13, 2009Romans Romans 105-Paul
Cites Leviticus 185 To Support His Teaching That
The Purpose Of The Law Was To Lead Israel To
Faith In Christ Lesson 334
3
Please turn in your Bibles to Romans 101.
4
This evening we will begin a study of the second
paragraph that appears in Romans chapter ten by
noting Romans 105 in which Paul cites Leviticus
185 to support his teaching in Romans 104 that
the purpose of the Law was to lead Israel to
faith in Christ.
5
The first paragraph in Romans chapter ten appears
in verses 1-4.
6
Romans 101-4, Brethren, my heart's desire and
my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.
7
For I testify about them that they have a zeal
for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
8
For not knowing about God's righteousness and
seeking to establish their own, they did not
subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
9
For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to everyone who believes.
10
The second paragraph appears in verses 5-15.
11
Romans 105-15, For Moses writes that the man
who practices the righteousness which is based on
law shall live by that righteousness.
12
But the righteousness based on faith speaks as
follows DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, WHO WILL
ASCEND INTO HEAVEN? (that is, to bring Christ
down), or WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?
(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
13
But what does it say? THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in
your mouth and in your heart --
14
that is, the word of faith which we are
preaching, that if you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
15
For with the heart a person believes, resulting
in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation.
16
For the Scripture says, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. For there is no
distinction between Jew and Greek
17
for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in
riches for all who call on Him for WHOEVER WILL
CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.
18
How then will they call on Him in whom they have
not believed? How will they believe in Him whom
they have not heard?
19
And how will they hear without a preacher? How
will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it
is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE
WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!

The New American Standard translation of Romans
105 is incorrect and is not based upon the best
external and internal evidence.
21
The NIV and NET Bible translations and most
English translations of this verse are based upon
the best external and internal evidence.
22
Romans 105, Moses describes in this way the
righteousness that is by the law The man who
does these things will live by them. NIV
23
Romans 105, For Moses writes about the
righteousness that is by the law The one who
does these things will live by them. (NET)
24
Completed corrected translation of Romans 105
25
Romans 105, Because Moses writes concerning
this particular righteousness, which is based
upon obedience to the Law (as constituting a
source of justification) The person who obeys
them will cause himself to live by means of
them.
26
For is the causal use of the conjunction gar
(gavr), which introduces a statement from
Leviticus 185 that presents the reason why faith
in Christ has always been the ultimate purpose of
the Law rather than obedience to the Law.
27
Leviticus 185, So you shall keep My statutes
and My judgments, by which a man may live if he
does them I am the LORD. NASU
28
Moses refers to the individual who led the
Exodus generation, wrote the Pentateuch, received
the Law from God on Mount Sinai and is listed in
Gods Hall of Fame of faith in Hebrews 1124-29
and was born during the eighteenth Dynasty of
Egypt during the reign of Amenhotep I who reigned
between 1546-1526 B.C.
29
Romans 105, For Moses writes that the man who
practices the righteousness which is based on law
shall live by that righteousness.
30
The righteousness is the articular accusative
feminine singular form of the noun dikaiosune
(dikaiosuvnh) (dik-ah-yos-oo-nay), which refers
to a right standing with God or righteous status
with God.
31
Which is based on law indicates that Moses
writes concerning a particular righteousness that
is based on obedience to the Law as constituting
the source of justification.
32
Who practices is the articular nominative
masculine singular aorist active participle form
of the verb poieo (poievw) (poy-eh-o), which is
used with reference to obedience to the
commandments of the Mosaic Law and thus means,
to obey.
33
Shall live is the third person singular future
middle indicative form of the verb zao (zavw)
(dzah-o), which refers to experiencing eternal
life in time by obeying the commandments of the
Law perfectly and of course this impossible for a
spiritually dead person with a sin nature.
34
So in Romans 105 Paul presents the reason why
faith in Christ resulting in the imputation of
divine righteousness and justification has always
been the ultimate purpose of the Law rather than
obedience to the Law and to support this he
begins to cite a series of Old Testament passages.
35
This first passage he uses is Leviticus 185 in
which Moses writes concerning the righteousness
that is based on obedience to the Law that the
Jew who obeys the commandments of the Law
perfectly will live by them or in other words,
obtain eternal life.
36
Of course, every person born into the world is
spiritually dead and possesses a sin nature,
making it impossible to render the perfect
obedience that the Law requires.
37
God never intended the Law to be a means of
salvation according to Galatians 321, which that
if a law had been given which was able to impart
life, then righteousness would indeed have been
based on law.
38
However, the Law did come with promises of life
as a result of obedience as we noted in Leviticus
185 and Matthew 1916-17.
39
The Scriptures teach that if a person obeys
perfectly the Law, he will live.
40
Ezekiel 2011, I gave them My statutes and
informed them of My ordinances, by which, if a
man observes them, he will live.
41
The Law would have given life to anyone who
obeyed it perfectly.
42
However, as we noted before, man had no capacity
whatsoever to render perfect obedience to the Law
since he possesses a sinful nature.
43
Thus, the Law promises life even though God did
not give it with this intention since He knew
sinful man had no capacity to render perfect
obedience to it.
44
God never intended obedience to the Law to be
the means of salvation but the Law did come with
promises of life if obeyed perfectly as we noted
earlier.
45
The Law required perfect obedience because the
Law is the perfect expression of Gods perfect
character and integrity and His holiness.
46
However, the Jew did not have the capacity to
render perfect obedience to the Law because they
like all men are sinners by nature.
47
Romans 310, As it stands written for all of
eternity, there is, as an eternal spiritual
truth, absolutely none righteous, not even one.
48
In Romans 84, Paul teaches that the Fathers
purpose for Christs physical death was so that
the righteous requirement of the Law, i.e.
perfect obedience might be fulfilled in those
Christians who conduct themselves in submission
to the Spirit rather than the sin nature.
49
Romans 81-4, Therefore, there is now, as an
eternal spiritual truth, never any condemnation,
none whatsoever for the benefit of those in union
with Christ who is Jesus.
50
Because, the life-giving Spirits authoritative
power, by means of (the death and resurrection
of) Christ, who is Jesus, has set you free from
the sin natures authoritative power as well as
spiritual deaths.
51
Because with reference to the Laws inability in
which it was always powerless through the flesh,
God the Father accomplished by sending His own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.
52
In fact, with regards to the sin nature, He (the
Father) executed the sin nature by means of His
(Sons) human nature.
53
In order that the Laws righteous requirement
would be fulfilled in us, those of us who are
not, as an eternal spiritual truth, conducting
our lives in submission to the flesh but rather
in submission to the Spirit.
54
Christ rendered perfect obedience to the Law,
which constituted His loving God perfectly and
His neighbor perfectly.
55
The Christian fulfills the righteous requirement
of Law positionally because of his union and
identification with Christ in His death and
resurrection.
56
He experiences this union and identification by
appropriating by faith through the power of the
Spirit his union and identification with Christ
in His death and resurrection.
57
This constitutes experiencing sanctification,
salvation, righteousness and fellowship with God.
