279.


The Jew is Condemned by the Law

1.

Today's Passage: Romans 2:17-29


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


Thank You for meeting us, LORD.
We welcome you into this place.


17. You who call yourselves Jews are relying on God's law, and you boast about your special relationship with him.
18. You know what he wants; you know what is right because you have been taught his law.
19. You are convinced that you are a guide for the blind and a light for people who are lost in darkness.
20. You think you can instruct the ignorant and teach children the ways of God. For you are certain that God's law give you complete knowledge and truth.

21. Well then, if you teach others, why don't you teach yourself? You tell others not to steal, but do you steal?
22. You say it is wrong to commit adultery, but do you commit adultery? You condemn idolatry, but do you use items stolen from pagan temples?
23 You are so proud of knowing the law, but you dishonor God by breaking it.
24. No wonder the Scriptures say. "The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you."

25. The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God's law. But if you don't obey God's law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.
26. And if the Gentiles obey God's law, won't God declare them to be his own people?
27. In fact, uncircumcised Gentiles who keep God's law will condemn you Jews who are circumcised and possess God's law but don't obey it.

28. For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.
29. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by God's Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
Romans 2:17-29 NLT

14th strategy.
Instructions Given

  • Prepare your heart
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine God or Jesus handing these instructions.
  • Who are the instructions given to? a group, a nation, a particular person?
  • Why is He giving these instructions?
  • Is there a consequence from these instructions either good or bad?
  • Contemplate these instructions.
  • List them either mentally or write them down.
  • What do they mean? What do they represent?
  • Are these instructions wise for anyone anytime to follow?
  • Would they help your own life, if applied?
  • Pray over what God has given.
  • Thank Him for His guidance either in the past, or presently.

A changed heart. . .
Changed by the Holy Spirit. . .

Romans 2:29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

Father - teachers held to a higher standard.
Oh Abba - keep me full and content with the reality that I am unable to know all, nor am I able to accomplish anything without you.
I praise You.
I worship You.
I adore You.
Help me be a light for You.
