Last week we heard Paul arguing in chapter 2:25 that that if a Jew does not follow the Law of God, then his “circumcision has become uncircumcision.” In other words, such a Jew is no different from a Gentile. But not only that; He also said in 2:27 that Gentiles who do follow the law of God will in the last day stand in judgment over Jewish people who have treated the law as a mere letter, instead of letting it have its inward transforming effect by the Holy Spirit. He said all this to make plain that Jews, as well as Gentiles, are all under the power of sin and in need of the Gospel that Paul was so eager to preach, also in Rome.

Our theme is: The Advantage and Danger of Being a Jew:
1. the advantage of possessing God’s Word;
2. the danger of ignoring God’s Word.
