Faith is Desire
A. Maclaren, D.D. Romans 10:5-11 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.… Faith is desire. Never in the history of the world has it been, or can it be, that a longing towards Christ shall be a longing thrown back unsatisfied upon itself. You have but to trust, and you possess. We open the door for the entrance of Christ by the simple act of faith; and, blessed be His name, He can squeeze Himself through a little chink, and He does not require the gates should be flung wide open in order that, with some of His blessings, He may come in. (A. Maclaren, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. WEB: For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
