9:30 這樣,我們可說甚麼呢?那本來不追求義的外邦人反得了義,就是因信而得的義。
9:31 但以色列人追求律法的義,反得不著律法的義。
9:32 這是甚麼緣故呢?是因為他們不憑著信心求,只憑著行為求;他們正跌在那絆腳石上。
9:33 就如經上所記:我在錫安放一塊絆腳的石頭,跌人的磐石;信靠他的人必不至於羞愧。
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
“See,
I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to
shame.”

不管你使否相信「預定論」,或是不管你是不是「靈恩派」,但是一件事情是救恩必須,你也一定會贊同,就是是因著信靠耶穌而得救,不是靠信仰立場或行為或守規條而得救!
既是憑著信心而得救,那是因為上帝的恩典!用信心表示我們不是靠行為或修行,是完全信賴上帝的引導和耶穌基督的代贖,以及聖靈將救恩運行在我們身上,使我們出死入生!
所以,不管是猶太人、外邦人都只有一條路,且是唯一的一條路,就是信靠耶穌基督,正如主耶穌說:「我就是道路、真理、生命;若不藉著我,沒有人能到父那裡去。」(約翰福音14:6)
