A Matter of the HeartThe Jews believed that judgment was for everyone but themselves. Paul confronts this mindset by emphasizing that a true Jew is one inwardly. In the same way, Christianity—or our religion—does not save us on its own. It is imperative that Christians cultivate a genuine heart relationship with God, as hypocrisy gives the non-religious world reason to blaspheme.

The standard of heaven is perfection, but religion cannot make us perfect. Furthermore, God does not show favoritism to the religious. Only through Christ can we meet His holy requirements.

Exchanging the Truth for a LiePaul warns that rejecting the truth leads to profound consequences.

Transforming PowerWhen we look at the life of Paul and his passion to spread the gospel of Christ, we see a significant change of heart.

In Ephesians 2:4-7, Paul exhorts all believers to lay hold of the glorious reality that we are more than forgiven; we are made alive, raised up, and seated with and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

ChoicesWe seen that Pilot, the Jewish leadership and Judas have all compromised and place value on the wrong things. Judas has regrets but turns to the priests rather than Jesus who offers forgiveness to those who chose Him.
