ARE YOU A JEW? In Bible times, the Jews took great pride in being descended from Abraham. God had chosen to make a new race of people from him and his descendants. And he promised to uniquely be their God, guide, provider, and protector. As an outward, physical sign that they were His people, God also demanded that Jewish males be circumcised. However, over time, the Jews came to believe that being physical descendants of Abraham and practicing physical circumcision made them 'right with God' and gave them eternal life. However, God says in Romans 2:28-29, 'For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart.'
