Zac Poonen preaches about the danger of pursuing righteousness with human zeal, leading to self-righteousness and arrogance. He emphasizes that our own efforts to be righteous are like filthy rags in God's eyes and must be discarded. Poonen highlights the importance of humility as the true test of righteousness, contrasting self-righteousness with God's sanctification that comes from partaking in His nature. He stresses that salvation is entirely from God, from the declaration of righteousness through faith in Christ to the sanctification and empowerment by God's grace.

The apostasy of Israel and the call of the Gentiles were prophesied, showing God's faithfulness despite human unfaithfulness. The Gentiles were to provoke Israel to jealousy by receiving blessings in Christ, leading to the salvation of some of them. Despite historical persecution, there is hope for Israel's future acceptance and salvation.
