The Book of Romans, Part 15: Circumcision and the Jews I (Rom. 2:25-29)

Summary

The sermon explores Romans 2:25-29, emphasizing that circumcision, as a sign of the covenant with God, only benefits those who keep the law. The preacher highlights that true righteousness is inward, not merely outward, and that the new birth is the true 'circumcision of the heart,' contrasting it with the mistaken link between Old Testament circumcision and New Testament baptism. The message warns against relying on external signs or works for salvation, underscoring faith in Christ's finished work as essential.
