Romans 9:30, 31, 32, 33

Romans 9:30 NLT

What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God. And it was by faith that this took place.

Romans 9:31 NLT

But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded.

Romans 9:32 NLT

Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.

Romans 9:33 NLT

God warned them of this in the Scriptures when he said, “I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. But anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
