"God looks at the Heart" from Romans 2:22

In Genesis 17:10-27, circumcision is in the spirit and physically.
- spiritomy - is from the greek word.
- circumcision - sign of separation. exclusively chosen by God. To bring this as of today this is like baptism it is the sign of that we are declaring we are Christians.

If the baptised person gives no evidence of salvation than it is a mockery.
The Gentiles are uncircumcised before.

We must remember that God looks at the heart.
And, the law is like a thermometer it will tell you have committed a sin but it will not remove the sin.
Being a Jew means nothing if you're not obeying the law of God.

Everything that you do are in vain if its not done from the heart.

- Transgressions means crossing the line. you know that it is wrong but you are still doing it.

What are the disadvantage of uncircumcised?
  1. separated from messiah without Christ
  2. excluded from citizenship from Israel
  3. foreigners of the covenant and the promises - God made for his people.
  4. without hope - you will die and go to hell.
  5. without God in the world.

Romans 2:26 If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
-> it is also the same as we are married and losses our wedding ring doesn't mean we are unmarried.
-> also the same thing to those who are married but commit adultery then the wedding ring is meaningless.

Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Pray:
Lord search our heart and see if there are any wicked things in us.

Philippians 3:3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

The real circumcision is the circumcision of the heart.

Nice Christian Life Experiences

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
