Romans 3:1-4 Then what advantage has the jew? or what is the value of circumcision? much in every way. to begin with, the jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithfulness nullify the faithfulness of God? by no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written," that you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged."
the jews were unfaithful in their actions. they were saying that they believed in God, but not doing his calling in their lives. The statement that paul is making in these verses is adressing that exact problem. He is making it known to them that even though they are the chosen people of God, that does not give them authority to do as they choose. It does not nullify the faithfulness of an almighty God. All it does is prove how faithful He is to us. It shows that while we disobeyed Him, (and He knew we would), He still gives us blessings we don't deserve. this is an ultimate example of faithfulness because He remained steady while we continued to disobey Him.
How can I apply this example to me? Am I striving to be as steady as his example? Am I trying to change my ways to reflect His purpose?
