This is the point he is driving at, as we stated above.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is breaking up the fallow ground of men\u2019s hearts, showing them their sinfulness (unrighteousness), that they have violated the holy and righteous standards of Elohim\u2019s law (the Torah) and in this condition need a Redeemer (a message Paul preaches more strongly later in the book of Romans).<\/p>\n<p>It is Paul\u2019s mission to bring the two opposing sides (Jew and Gentile) together, to show them their common state of sinfulness and their common need for Yeshua, the Redeemer, and their common need to dwell together in Torah-community as the body of believers in Yeshua. This is indeed the tall order to which Paul dedicated his life\u2019s efforts and that he terms \u201cthe ministry of reconciliation\u201d to which he has been called (2 Cor. 5:18).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Are You Under the Law?
