The Race Is Won (and You Didn’t Run It)

1. The Problem: Somehow the Gentiles are beating the Israelites in the race to God
   a. Lazy Gentiles can receive salvation by faith alone! (9:30)
   b. Energetic Israelites will not obtain salvation by works galore! (9:31)
2. The Reason: Only Christ could finish the race!
   a. Israel chased a salvation of grace by doing works (9:32a)
   b. Israel rejected the free salvation accomplished by their Saviour God (9:32b-33)
   c. Israel exerted abundant zeal running in the wrong race (10:2)
   d. Israel trusted their own righteousness instead of God’s (10:3)
