11-25-11 True Circumcision

Today's Reading: Romans 1-3

Romans 2:29
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.



God will judge everyone by whatever light they have: the light of the law (in the case of the Jews) and the light of conscience (in the case of the Gentiles who do not have the law).

Paul intensifies his attack on self-righteous Jews. They are proud of the law, but they break it like everyone else. They are proud of circumcision — but it means nothing without obedience to God.

In God’s sight, true circumcision is an attitude of heart.



Tomorrow's Reading: Rom 4-7
