God’s Displeasure of the Jews’ Religion

In this Sunday School lesson, covering Galatians 1:13-14, we see the Apostle Paul's recounting of his exemplary works and accomplishments, that never pleased God, until he was born again as a child of God. In application, we see the futility of a person's fame and renown in any religion, including the Jew's religion, the futility of a person's commitment to their religion and the benefit of others, the futility of a person's profitability to their religious and governmental superiors, and the futility of a person's zeal to honor their country, family, or traditions.
