Book of Romans - Chapter 10 - Verse 3
Meaning
This verse highlights the danger of relying on one's own efforts and works to achieve righteousness, instead of submitting to God's righteousness. It speaks to the folly of trying to establish one's own righteousness through self-righteousness, religious rituals, or good deeds, instead of humbly acknowledging and accepting God's righteousness as the only true source of salvation. By being ignorant of God's righteousness, individuals miss out on the opportunity to experience the fullness of God's grace and mercy. The verse serves as a reminder that true righteousness comes from God alone, and it is only through surrendering to Him that we can truly be transformed and saved. It urges believers to abandon their pride and self-sufficiency, and to instead trust in God's righteousness for salvation and redemption.
