Zac Poonen emphasizes that true righteousness is not merely external adherence to the law but is measured by the life of Jesus. He identifies five sins that Jesus hated the most: hypocrisy, spiritual pride, impurity, indifference to human need, and unbelief, none of which are explicitly listed in the Ten Commandments. Poonen urges believers to examine their hearts and attitudes, recognizing that these sins can manifest subtly and often go unchecked. He warns against the dangers of hypocrisy and spiritual pride, highlighting the importance of humility and genuine faith. Ultimately, he calls for a ruthless crucifixion of these sins in our lives to align with Christ's teachings.
