Tuesday 5:31 AM
In what ways do the words of James here support Paul’s contention that only the doers of the law are justified? Are we who have been saved by grace still expected to “do” the Word of God? What does that look like in a practical way?
Jeremiah 31 is one of many Old Testament verses which speak of the law of God being written on our hearts. What exactly does this mean? What role does our conscience play in our relationship with the Lord? What should we do with the heart-written law of God?
Paul’s concept of a circumcision of the heart (as expressed in our reading yesterday from Romans 2 and in other places, such as Colossians 2) comes from Old Testament passages like this. When did you experience such a “circumcision,” and what does it mean for your relationship with God and His people?
