In Romans 2:25–29, the apostle Paul explains that being a Jew is a matter of the heart and not the body. A true Jew is one who has been circumcised in heart which is an inward and sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches on Romans 2:25–29 on the meaning of being inwardly Jewish, the circumcision of the heart, and what it means to receive praise from God.
“But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.”
