Bear Them Witness

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I BEAR THEM WITNESS that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."

(Romans 10:1-3)

Paul was "concerning the law, a Pharisee", "concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless" (Philippians 3:5,6). He understood what he was saying! Those of us who were born into the Gentile nations were never under the law for righteousness. The Gentile "law" is the wisdom of the world. Yet Paul was "made the righteousness of God in Him (Christ)" (2 Corinthians 5:21). He had been "crucified with Christ" (Galatians 2:20) and "preached Christ crucified" (1 Corinthians 1:23). He bore them witness, having been made (becoming) the righteousness of God in Him.

Are you called to a different gospel than Paul? So, bear them witness around you. Refine your search for wisdom, either Jew or Gentile, and bring the mountain of your pride down, and out into the plain!
