âA person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 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.â Romans 2:28-29 NIV
Hello friends! Iâve got a piece of information for you today about WHO YOU ARE and I bet youâre going to be surprised by this! Did you know that youâre JEWISH! I know, mind blown right?! Iâll tell you even more about this INCREDIBLE truth in two of this weekâs short videos linked below. You wonât want to miss out on this. Think about it. From the time of your youth youâve been told about your family tree and to WHOM youâre related. Maybe your ancestors hail from Italy, Japan or South Africa. What you may not know is that your SPIRITUAL ancestry runs through only ONE people group and itâs just as REAL as your actual biological DNA. Like Paul said in the scripture we began with, your circumcision is âof the heart, by the Spirit.â What that means is that youâve been born SPIRITUALLY because of your faith in Godâs Servant Jesus. Metaphorically, Paul refers to this ânew birthâ as âcircumcision of the heart.â In terms of symbolism, thatâs what Old Covenant circumcision always represented. It was a statement that said, âIâm one of Godâs people. Iâm part of Israel. Iâm Jewish.â When Jesus came he gave us a New Covenant executed through BAPTISM that symbolizes the same thing. So there you have it, if youâve been baptized, if youâre a Christian Godâs made you âJewishâ in your heart and a permanent member of Godâs people so welcome to the family!!
Application:
Did you realize that your identification with Jesus makes you âJewishâ in your heart?
How does it make you feel to be born again and included in Godâs family?
Find someone this week you can invite to join our family by sharing the Gospel of salvation by faith with them!
