Romans 10:5-13 | Closer Than You Think (Zach Fallon)

1. The Righteousness We Cannot Establish (10:5)

• The law says “do”
• We cannot establish our own righteousness
• There is nothing left for us to establish

2. The Salvation We Cannot Reach Has Come Near (10:6–8)

• You do not bring Christ down. He came
• You do not bring Christ up. God raised Him
• The word is near
• To believe is to receive the Christ who has come near

3. The Word Near You Calls for Faith (10:9–10)

• The heart believes that God raised Jesus from the dead
• The mouth confesses that Jesus is Lord
• One faith, inside and out
• Stop inspecting the hand. Look at Christ

4. The Lord Rich Enough for All (10:11–13)

• Everyone who believes will not be put to shame
• There is no distinction. The same Lord is Lord of all
• The Lord is rich toward all who call on Him
• Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
