Brethren, my hearts desire for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of Gods righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, The man who does these things shall live by them. But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, Do not say in your heart who will ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down from above. Or who will descend into the abyss? That is to say bring Christ up from the dead. But What does it say? THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART. THAT IS THE WORD OF FAITH THAT WE PREACH THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED for with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The scripture says; whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. There is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek for the same Lord over all is rich to ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM. FOR WHOEVER CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. COMMENTARY: Now the people of Israel are those who have called upon the name of God. The name of God is not God as say Bill is the name of a person. The name of God is the reputation of God and the way of God to save you from knowledge of blind men who speak of what they know but not of what they have seen. Following the instruction of the law does not make a man righteous for laws make nothing perfect regarding knowledge through vision of something. Jesus is referred to as the author and finisher of faith. Faith is the gift of God to those who diligently seek Him which reveals evidence and substance of the kingdom of heave that the knowledge in which your mind reasons may be made new and that you be transformed to the image of the son of God. No one is born a son of God for we are sons of men. The knowledge of God can only be given by God through His Holy Spirit which removes the blindness of men regarding the unseen things of which all things seen are made. The knowledge of the son of God is one who guides you in the way to go to receive the knowledge of God. It is in this way that Jesus and the prophets spoke the truth. The Holy Spirit is the bringer of all truth. When Jesus said He would return, He was speaking of a priesthood in service to God which revealed the purpose of God that all men be conformed as He was to the image of Gods son and would do greater things than Him as Moses and the prophets said about a future man and their words were fulfilled in Him. For He himself said; I came to fulfill the prophets and the purpose of the law. To believe in Jesus is not an intellectual decision made by reason for reason must be fed by something. To believe in Jesus is to come to believe through faith evidence and substance revealed to you that you may understand His words for it is written; until the spirit comes a man cannot confess that Jesus was the son of God which is to say formed or begotten of God. And as God does not show favoritism to men what God has done for Jesus, He will surely do for you and you too will say as the apostles said; WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. This is so because their minds reasoned in the same knowledge through vision which is perception of signs which caused them to wonder and in wondering they endured even though they stumbled unto the knowledge of faith which was in the mind of Jesus. This, the scripture refers to as being of one mind.
