The study continues through Romans 10:4–11, focusing on the claim that “Christ is the end of the law,” arguing that the Greek telos means the law’s goal or purpose rather than its termination. The speaker explains how Jewish leaders sought righteousness through the Torah and tradition yet missed its intent, while Gentiles more readily accepted the gospel. The law’s purposes are presented as revealing humanity’s need for a savior, foreshadowing Messiah, and training believers to live like Yeshua, while not providing the perfect righteousness needed for eternal salvation. Romans 10 is connected to Deuteronomy 30, showing God’s word as near and emphasizing confession and heart-belief as allegiance and submission, not a magical formula. The discussion also addresses “saved” as past, present, and future, and interprets “not put to shame” via Isaiah as trusting Messiah through coming judgment.
