Changes & Why • Priority of the Word • “preach the word” (2 Tim. 4:2). Preaching must come first in the life of the church before anything else can find its rightful place. • Response of Praise • “Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord…” (Acts 13:48) • Giving intentionally, purposefully, and cheerfully • “prepare your bountiful gift beforehand” (2 Cor.9:5,7,12-13)
Romans 2:28-29 The FINAL VERDICT Part 2
3 FALSE Exemptions from being condemned 1. Law of God 2. Circumcision 3. Birth - sons of Abraham
3 Key Words “Law” “Circumcision” • Vs.17 – “rest on the Law” • Vs.18 – “instructed out of the Law” • Vs.20 – “form of…truth in the Law” • Vs.23 – “boast in the Law… …breaking the Law” • Vs.25 – “circumcision is indeed profitable” • Vs.26 & 27 – “uncircumcision” “Jew” • Vs.28 – “not a Jew…outwardly” • Vs.29 – “a Jew…inwardly” Even these CANNOT save!
