From Chapter 2:17-29 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam continues with Paul’s instruction regarding God’s dealing with sinful humanity. In these verses Paul directs our attention to the privileges and the responsibilities that his people Israel have towards God, who gave them His Holy Law, the Torah. God gave His Law to the jewish people, and therefore, they are more responsible than the gentiles who had not received God’s Holy Law. Through His Law, God sought to bring about an inward change in the heart of His people Israel, causing them to recognize their weakness and cling to Him for mercy, grace, and forgiveness. By having circumcised hearts, Israel could be an example, and a light to the people of the world who were in darkness.
