That was the mountaintop. We headed down the slope into the valley of shadow presently.
We don't always behave as we should, but the difference is God's Law written on our hearts. We sometimes try to ignore it, but it is always there. God's Law written on our heart is one of the terms of the New Covenant. When we follow God's Law, we are successful and blessed. When we ignore it, we find ourselves in a bad situation. See Deuteronomy 28. The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God's Israel people.
Romans 11:25 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations be come in." (Nations in this verse includes our Ten Northern Tribes.)
They hate us because they reject God's morals, God's Law. They hold us to that standard, but they do not want it for themselves.
