In these verses Paul once again assures any of his Jewish listeners that his heart is full of compassion for them, and that he prays regularly for their salvation. He recognizes that the Jews have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. They were, like many people today, looking for righteousness in all the wrong places. They thought they could be counted righteous before God by a righteousness of their own performance, but were ignorant of the righteousness which God Himself provides. In this message we explore the righteousness God has provided through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
