Romans 2:25–29 | Who is the Circumcision?
• Series: The Gospel in Romans
Part 20 in the sermon series "The Gospel in Romans | the power of God for salvation" CG Questions 1. Recap together as a group the meaning of Romans 2:25-29. 2. On Sunday Jeremiah drew out two implications from this passage: a warning and a hope. Warning: External signs of religious belonging are insufficient to give confidence that one belongs to the people of God. Consider religious participation in such things as a Christian home and heritage, baptism, communion. Have you ever presumed upon these external signs as the means of your confidence rather than their substance, which is Christ. Hope: Believer, you with circumcised hearts, you belong to the Lord and you are named among his people. Given that Jesus fulfilled the whole law on our behalf, what does belonging to the people of God mean for you who believe?
