Romans 4:9-12; Signs and Seals & The Great Mystery of Christ

In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Romans. In Romans 4, Paul talks about how circumcision was a sign and a seal of the righteousness of the faith of Abraham. Do the outward signs of being part of the people of God; such as circumcision and baptism equal truly being part of God's people? What is their place? This is an area where a lot of people get tripped up, back then as well as today. Paul speaks of the believing Jew, being co-heirs with the believing Gentile. In Ephesians he talks about how they are the same body in Christ. This he calls the great mystery of Christ.
