Romans 3:2 "...the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God."
Paul has been making the claim that circumcision (the Law) does not save a person. So, is there any value in being Jewish anymore? Paul says yes! The Jews have been entrusted with God's word. The Hebrew scriptures are God's word and are the Bible at this point in the mid first century. The New Testament is still in the process of being written and assembled.
Much like ancient Jews, I too in a way am entrusted with God's word. I have it. I own several copies. I have a digital version on my phone in dozens of translations I can access at anytime. I have many verses memorized. I have been entrusted with God's word and what am I doing with it? Am I continually hiding it in my heart? Am I teaching it and sharing it with others? Am I striving to live it out daily?
Dear Lord, help me take your word more seriously. Help me better learn it, teach it, and live it out. Amen.
