Christ is the end of law for everyone who is believing.
Hallelujah, we no longer need to set up our own righteousness, for doing so makes it impossible to submit to God's righteousness. Seeking God according to knowledge means submitting first to the will of Jesus, and His changing our heart is the only way that can happen. Christ is the end of law and the entrance to freedom.
Moses said that those who trust in the law must live in them. From this, all kinds of problems arise, for the next step is either to seek someone either to bring Christ down from heaven or up from the abyss.
Instead, the saying of faith is inside us, inside our hearts and in our mouths to confess Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead. And with that belief and confession, says the word of God, we are saved.
And believing on Him makes all of us unashamed. God is rich toward all, both Jews and Gentiles, who call upon Him.
Romans also says that blessed are the feet of them that bring good tidings of salvation. Paul was quoting from Isaiah 52.
From Isaiah 52:
The Lord shall arise! He has made Jerusalem know His salvation. No unrighteous enter in.
This is the promise of the Lord from Isaiah 52:6:
Therefore my people will know my name; therefore on that day they will know that I, the one speaking — here I am!"
And how do we know who is speaking? It is evident through the victory He established.
The good tidings to Zion is, Yahweh is King! This is the announcement of a new reality, the salvation of God's chosen people and complete victory on their behalf.
The call to victory is the call to flee, to be clean, but not to flee in haste. The Lord goes before us and after us. He leads us out.
The nations are speechless, for they have never been told what they see. Jesus Himself is raised up and honored, and the nation will be startled at Him, as they were appalled at His disfigurement at the cross.
Jesus, the true servant of God, will succeed. We can rest assured in His presence.
