\u201cThe earlier revelation was intended simply to get us ready for the Messiah, who then puts everything right for those who trust him to do it. Moses wrote that anyone who insists on using the law code to live right before God soon discovers it\u2019s not so easy\u2014every detail of life regulated by fine print! But trusting God to shape the right living in us is a different story\u2014no precarious climb up to heaven to recruit the Messiah, no dangerous descent into hell to rescue the Messiah. So what exactly was Moses saying? The word that saves is right here, as near as the tongue in your mouth, as close as the heart in your chest. It\u2019s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming word to God\u2014\u201cJesus is my Master\u201d\u2014embracing, body and soul, God\u2019s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That\u2019s it. You\u2019re not \u201cdoing\u201d anything; you\u2019re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That\u2019s salvation. With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: \u201cGod has set everything right between him and me!\u201d ROMANS 10:4-10 (The Message)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
