Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes

 Romans 10:1-13

Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Paul himself once shared this misplaced zeal. Now he longs for the Jews to believe as he does that 'Christ is the end of the law'.

Why?

The righteousness that is by the law: The man who does these things will live by them. But the righteousness that is by faith. This is the point between Jews and Paul.

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, it is an easy way but it is very hard to many people. Most people believe they have to do something to gain the benefits.

Trust and with the faith to live out the image of Jesus Christ is a long way to go.

How?

Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can make it to honor the name of the Lord
