A True Jew

If you are Christ’s,
then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise

🔹Romans 2:29 NKJV
He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

♡🩷♡
1 Corinthians 7:19 NKJV
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Romans 2:27-29 NKJV
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 4:12-14 NKJV
 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

The Promise Granted Through Faith

13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

Romans 8:17 NKJV
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Romans 9:4-8 NKJV
 4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;
5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose

6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,
7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

Galatians 6:16 NKJV
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

🔹🔹Genesis 12:3 NKJV
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Genesis 18:18 NKJV
since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Galatians 3:7 NKJV
Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:27-29 NKJV
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Revelation 2:9 NKJV [Jesus Christ (Messiah) speaking to the Persecuted Church]
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9 NKJV [Jesus Christ (Messiah) speaking to the Faithful Church]
Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

🔹🔹🔹1 Corinthians 10:18 NKJV
Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Jeremiah 4:4 NKJV
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts,
You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My fury come forth like fire,
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.”

Deuteronomy 30:6 NKJV
And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Ephesians 4:4-6 NKJV
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Gann's Commentary on the Bible
🔹©Gann, Windell. "Commentary on Romans 2:29".
"a Jew is one inwardly -- Who is the real Israel today?

    Romans 2:28-29; Romans 4:12-14; Romans 9:4-8; Galatians 6:16; Galatians 3:27-29; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9; 1 Corinthians 10:18

God’s Israel today is not that nation in Palestine called by that name, but His people who live by faith in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.

And circumcision is that of the heart -- That is, that circumcision which is acceptable to God and it is attended with holiness of heart; with the cutting off of sins; and with a pure life. Jeremiah 4:4; Deuteronomy 30:6.

Whose praise -- Whose object is not to secure the praise of human beings.

But of God -- The praise of God can be bestowed only on those who conform in heart and in spirit, and not externally only, to his requirements. 1 Samuel 16:7."

🔹🔹🔹©Clarke, Adam. "Commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:18".
Verse 18. Behold Israel after the flesh — "The Jews not yet converted to Christianity: the latter being Israel after the Spirit. As the design of the apostle was to withdraw his converts at Corinth from all temptations to idolatry, he produces two examples to show the propriety of his endeavours.

1. All who join together in celebrating the Lord's Supper, and are partakers of that one bread, give proof by this that they are Christians, and have fellowship with Christ.

2. All the Israelites who offer sacrifice, and partake of those sacrifices, give proof thereby that they are Jews, and are in fellowship with the object of their worship: so they who join in idol festivals, and eat things which have been offered to idols, give proof that they are in communion with those idolaters, and that they have fellowship with the demons they worship."

Christian Freedom in Practice

Colossians 2:16-18 NLT
¹⁶ So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
¹⁷ For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
¹⁸ Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud,..."

Hebrews 8:5 NLT
They serve in a system of worship that is only a •copy, a •shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the •pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”

Hebrews 10:1ª NLT
The old system under the law of Moses was only a •shadow, a •dim preview of the good things to come, •not the good things themselves.

Galatians 5:1 NLT
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Galatians 5:4 NLT
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

Galatians 5:16, 18 NLT
¹⁶ So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
¹⁸ But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

Galatians 4:31 NLT
So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.

©Fleming, Donald C. "Commentary on Colossians 2:16".
《"In view of the freedom that Christ has won for them, the Colossian believers must not listen to those who try to force them to obey the rules and regulations of the Israelite law. Practices taught in the law may be compared to shadows. They are not solid or permanent, but their existence enables the viewer to know that there is some real object that casts the shadows. That real object is Jesus Christ. Now that he has come, the shadows are of no further interest. Christian life and growth come from God through a direct relationship between the believer and Christ."》

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵ or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. ⁶ It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

[31] And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)
[32] And they went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves. 

Mark 4:38 NASB2020‬
[38] And yet Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Like Jesus Did

Mark 1:29-38 NASB2020‬

[29] And immediately after they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 

[30] Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and they immediately *spoke to Jesus about her. 

[31] And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she served them. 

[32] Now when evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. 

[33] And the whole city had gathered at the door. 

[34] And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew who He was. 

[35] And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time. 

[36] Simon and his companions eagerly searched for Him; 

[37] and they found Him and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 

[38] He *said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may also preach there; for this is why I came.” 

‭Luke 10:38-42 NASB2020‬

[38] Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 

[39] And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 

[40] But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 

[41] But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 

[42] but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

‭Luke 9:51-52 NASB2020‬

[51] When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; 

[52] and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. 

‭John 17:4 NASB2020‬

[4] I glorified You on the earth by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do.

Do you feel swamped, overwhelmed?

Swamped/Overwhelmed?
Redeem Your Time

Go aside where it's quiet and pray. Be calm. Lord Jesus Himself is our peace. He is full of grace and truth.

Luke 8:22-25 NASB2020‬
[22] Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
[23] But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
[24] They came up to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
[25] And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

‭Ephesians 2:14 NASB2020‬
[14] For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

‭John 1:14 NASB2020‬
[14] And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

‭Mark 1:35 NASB2020‬
[35] And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time.

‭Luke 6:12 NASB2020‬
[12] Now it was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer with God.

Political Intrigue & Conspiracy

Political Intrigue & Conspiracy

Hosea 7:3-7 GNT‬

³ The Lord says, “People deceive the king and his officers by their evil plots. 

⁴ They are all treacherous and disloyal. Their hatred smolders like the fire in an oven, which is not stirred by the baker until the dough is ready to bake. 

⁵ On the day of the king's celebration they made the king and his officials drunk and foolish with wine. 

⁶ Yes, they burned like an oven with their plotting. All night their anger smoldered, and in the morning it burst into flames. 

⁷ “In the heat of their anger they murdered their rulers. Their kings have been assassinated one after another, but •no one prays to me for help.” 

•Call on Jesus!

‭1 Timothy 2:1-3 GNT‬

¹ First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people; ² for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct. 

³ This is good and it pleases God our Savior, 

Christians, do you pray that God's will or your will be done in our politics?
