God chose the Jews because of the faith of their forefather Abraham. Faith has been and still is the motivating factor that causes God's favor to be released on one’s behalf. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. (Heb 11:6)God has always had favor towards his very own, those who believe him...And guess what???  If you (like Abraham) have put your faith in God and that work of circumcision by the Holy Spirit has been done in you, you also are God’s very own!

Romans 2:28-29 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.

Circumcision of the heart is the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of one who has trusted in the truth of God’s provision for us through Jesus Christ. When we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, his Holy Spirit comes and lives inside of us. He does a supernatural work of circumcision on our heart, giving us a new passion for God and all that he is! I want you to know that you can live as a person of faith today! 

The word of God tells us that we can come boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in time of need. (Heb 4:16)In other words, God wants you to come to him and ask because he is ready to release his favor upon you!  God as longing for deeper intimacy with you! The way you tap into this intimacy is by believing God! Nothing complicated – childlike faith! To be sure, you are everything God has ever wanted! He is immensely excited about his future with you! Go ahead, let go and trust God with everything that you have, because…

YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE FAVORED!
