No works. Many people struggle with the concept. The Jews did. Still do. Many in our churches also.<\/p>\n<p>The problem? We can&#8217;t let go of our idea of righteousness and salvation and embrace God&#8217;s idea. And not embracing God&#8217;s plan of righteousness, we, as the Jews did in Paul&#8217;s day, seek to establish our own. We may not say this. We may not even realize what we are doing. But this is exactly how the battle unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>The Jews would not let go of their moral code. Yes. Their morality was based on the Bible but it had been drastically revised by their human standards. Exactly as we do today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And their hearts were hardened &#8230;\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nHow hard were their hearts?
