Galatians 3:26-28 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (27) For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Many gentile believers, who desire to be under the law, quote the above passage of scripture as their excuse for doing so. They say that because in Christ, there is neither Jew no

Philippians 3:2-9 “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! (3) For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, (4) though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: (5) circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Acts 15:5-29 “But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses." (6) Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. (7) And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren … (13) and after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me: … (24) Since we have heard that some who went out

Galatians 2:1-5 “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. (2) And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. (3) Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. (4) And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in

1 Corinthians 9:19-20 “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; (20) and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law.” We saw earlier, that the apostle Paul who consistently teaches gentile believers not to keep the law, himself kept the law. Obviously Paul did not fall into the category of Jewish believers that

Galatians 6:15 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.” 1 Corinthians 8:8 “But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.” Romans 14:5-6 “One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. (6) He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the da

Romans 14:1-14 “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. (2) For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. … (14) I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” To a degree, Jewish believers place themselves under bondage when they keep the law. In the above quoted example in scripture Pau

Acts 6:7 “Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.” Before we look at the reasons why the Holy Spirit allows Jewish believers to keep the law, but does not allow gentile believers to do the same, let us look at some scriptural examples of Jewish believers keeping the law. In the above quoted passage of scripture we are told about Jewish priests who were born-aga

Romans 11:13 “For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry.” On numerous occasions the apostle Paul told the church that the Lord Jesus had appointed him as the apostle to the gentiles. The above quoted passage of scripture is one of those occasions. The reason that the Lord appointed Paul as the apostle to the gentiles is because he received specific revelation regarding the gospel to the gentiles that was different to t

Romans 10:9-13 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the Scripture says, "whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." (12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. (13) For "wh

Galatians 3:17-19 “And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. (18) For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. (19) What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appo

Genesis 17:9-13 “And God said to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. (10) This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; (11) and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. (12) He who is eight days old among you shall be circumc

Galatians 3:16-19 “Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "and to your seed," who is Christ. (17) And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. (18) For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. (

Romans 11:1-29 “I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. (2) God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. … (25) For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (26) And so, all Israel will be saved … (28) con

Romans 4:3 “For what does the Scripture say?” Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And then God called Abraham. When God separated Abraham to Himself, He added another people group into the world. The new people group that God added was the Hebrew nation. However, the Hebrew nation never replaced the people group of believers in the earth. The sons of the kingdom remained, and continue even until this present time. However, unlike the sons

Hebrews 11:4 “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.” From the time that Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden there have always been two people groups in the earth, i.e. believers and unbelievers. Jesus referred to them as the sons of the kingdom and the sons of the wicked one (Matthew 13:38). Believers are those who ha
