Romans 2:27, Be Keeping God’s Commandments
The Apostle Paul speaks of converted gentiles who loved God and serve Him with all their hearts. Their devout lives speak volumes though they were not outwardly circumcised like the Jew. Their good testimony served as an indictment against the circumcised Jews. Though outwardly bearing the covenant of God in their flesh, they disobeyed God in heart, word and deed. This was the sad plight in Jewry during the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Indeed, as Apostle Paul rightly conclude in 1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
