The Gospel of ROMANS
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God 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 God’s 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.
For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those 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 bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which 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.
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.”
But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”
But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”
But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”

The justice of God: That is, being at peace with the Lord comes only through faith in Christ, some consider that Christ is the end of the law in the sense that He constitutes the goal and represents the consummation of it, however, "the law" refers here to the system of obtaining justification for our efforts, Christ is certainly the perfect fulfillment of all that the law requires, but also the end of the law as a way to achieve justice for all those What do you think.
Hence, Paul emphasizes the sufficiency of faith to receive the justice of God, because by fulfilling the requirements of the law, Christ satisfied his claims, this does not mean that a Christian should ignore the moral norms or the commandments of God, Therefore, Paul says that the justice that is by faith does not demand merit or any human effort, Christ has already done what is necessary for our salvation.
God is the only God of every man, anywhere in the world regardless of condition, race or culture and his justice is for all equally. We must only spread the gospels and the resurrection of the flesh of Christ is the greatest miracle given by him.
There are people who hear the message of salvation but do not listen to it, as a chosen people they did not listen to the word and God who is love receives who seeks it, we are legitimate children of God because of his mercy.
