Introduction
Explain what bean boozled is.
Explain that while on the outside to the human eye each looks the same.
On the inside one is much worse than the other.
One is Buttered popcorn, one is rotten eggs.
God sees and judges us according to the things he sees on the inside and outside.
Where are you at on the inside?
Where is your heart?
Body
Today we will continue our series on Romans
The passage we are covering today talks about the heart of a Christian
In the passage today in just 4 verses the words circumcision and uncircumcision appears a combined 10 times
So what is circumcision?
To the Jews who Paul is addressing here a circumcision is very similar to a baptism for us today, which is an outward showing of an inward change.
This was used to identify these people as God’s people.
Many also thought that circumcision saves and thought that the way you lived didn’t matter at all.
Paul deconstructs that belief through this passage as he hits on the real way to be right with Jesus.
What is your circumcision today?
What is the public thing you do to make yourself feel like you’re good with God?
Paul explains through this passage that you are not saved and right with God because of your outward expression of faith, but your inward heart for Christ.
When our joy comes from our inward heart and not just on what we want people to see, according to the passage we begin to get our praise from God and not people
In other words we need to stop being people pleasers and hypocrites.
A true Inward change will lead to an outward change that is sincere.
Going to Church Becomes Be the Church and Be Commissioned.
Being In FCA Becomes stepping up and being a Christian example on campus.
Calling yourself a Christian becomes living the lifestyle of a believer.
Owning a bible becomes studying and living out God’s word.
Getting baptized becomes worth something, it becomes a true showing to the world that you are changed through Christ.
Praying before meals becomes less of an obligation and more of a concentration.
You want to do that.
Conclusion
None of these things are bad.
In fact if you have a genuine heart for the Lord all of these things will stretch you as a believer, but they alone will not save you.
You should do all of these things as a believer, but if your heart is not right with God then why do it all?
Only a heart submitted to Christ can save you
Invitation and Prayer
God is calling us today to have an inward change of heart
