- God hates their hollowed out religion
- What will God do? His Grace will cleanse those who repent
John M. G. Barclay describes in his book Paul & the Gift
Six “perfections of grace”

- Priority
- Incongruity

- Jesus replaces all religion because he alone fully reveals God
- Heaven and Hell depend upon our response to Jesus
