"For Christ is THE END of the law FOR righteousness to everyone that believeth." (Rom 10:4)
~ Do you really understand the quoted verse?
To fulfil a law, you must do the works to enjoy its benefits, which makes you "righteous" or a true citizen. And to not do it is a violation, which requires redemption or punishment. Laws are given to bring order into chaos, and to break or take laws away is to re-create chaos. This is the general idea we all have about Law and Order.
# The Kingdom of Heaven.
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)... Christ gave us the truth, and the Holy Spirit birth us again (Begotten: the Spirit birth a new spirit in us). [IMPORTANT: it's until you have the full understanding of this, WITHOUT an iota of doubt, before you can say you have the faith of Christ.]
Christ brought on Earth the spiritual kingdom of Heaven, reconciling the world back to God. When you are fully persuaded of all Christ did in comparison to the Law of Moses, which God gave as the standard to access the Most Holy place, then can you draw your own righteousness or fulfilment of the whole law and prophets from Christ.
~ You might be saying, "BUT HOW?!".
This is where FAITH in Christ comes into the picture. Faith in another term is the imagination/s that came through "seeing" in our hearts (that is, through the spirit), all that Christ did on the Cross concerning our past, present, and future situations. IF YOU CAN'T SEE ALL CHRIST HAS DONE, YOU STILL DON'T HAVE HIS FAITH. You need to know the position of things past, present and future to eliminate ALL doubts that could be hindering developing your faith through the knowledge of Christ.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and SHALT BELIEVE (or SEE) in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (vs 9)...
This could also be said like this:-
You are saved from every situation as you confess with your mouth all that you believe in your heart as it relate to Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension!..."For WITH THE HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (vs 10)
~ Do you now understand why you MUST know Christ?
"For whosoever shall CALL UPON the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Rom 10:13)... You can only call on whom you know, trust and believe is able to save you to get saved. You must draw your faith from the knowledge of Christ. Otherwise, you're simply waiting in vain.
"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?" (vs 14)
# What you MUST seek first.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Mat 6:33) ...and please allow me to paraphrase it.
["But seek first the spiritual kingdom of God and Christ's free gift of righteousness; and then you shall have all you seek."]
This is just a glimpse into the depth of the knowledge of the wonders God wrought through Christ as it relates to the fulfillment of the whole law of sin and death (law of Moses).
When we get hold of this, then we will understand the Salvation (Deliverance) that only must come through our mouths (that is, our "cloven tongues on fire"!). We will begin to speak and declare as we believe and see through the knowledge of Christ, and they shall be so, without a single jot of our words dropping to the ground unfulfilled! Do you still believe in Christ?
