Law of Moses

Rom 2:17-24
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
  • Although this passage is about Jews and the Law of Moses, what does it say to you and your Christian walk?
  • What areas of Christian life are you willing to preach, teach, discuss, argue, or just know but are not willing to do?
  • How does knowing how to obey God but also knowing you don't obey God affect your willingness to teach, etc.?
  • When might the name of God have been blasphemed among unbelievers because of your actions?
