Romans 1-3

I know that I have a tendancy to evaluate someone's faith by the way I see them living their lives. Do they attend community worship regularly? Do they participate in dicussions? Are they reading the word? Do they reach out to help the poor? Do they speak of Jesus' grace to others? All of these actions could be compared to circumcision as Paul writes about in 2:28-29. The question each believer should be asking themselves; "are these actions my faith or are they the fruits of my faith in God?" Paul said that "circumcision is a matter of the heart." How am I living that in my life?
It took me 14 minutes to read this passage.
