Apostle Paul of course, was not against the Jews. He himself had a Jewish heritage. What he wanted to do was help his fellow brothers who shared the same heritage as he did to step fully into the New Covenant and embrace the reality of Christ even though it required letting go of their false understanding of the law....That false belief taught that the law was a useful and effective tool for teaching Christians to live a righteous life; however, as Paul clarifies throughout many of his letters, nothing could be further from the gospel truth! It is the revelation of grace that empowers a believer to live a righteous life; in contrast, the law will only create condemnation and a feeling of unworthiness that pushes a believer into sin. Paul said it was grace and not law that would liberate us into an obedient and righteous life. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. Romans 6:14...Daniel Mentz
