*The Inward Reality* February 8, 2009
Romans 2:17-29
Pastor Chet Klope
*Introduction: DNA*
I am going to assume that most or all of us have heard of DNA
*Deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid (DNA)*
It is impossible to study biology with including some investigation of
Deoxy-ribo-nucleic Acid or DNA
I won’t bore you with a science lesson today
1.
Because many of us would not be that interested…bore you
2.
Many of our young people already are getting this in school…bore you
3.
I really only have the smallest bit of knowledge on it anyway
And few things are more boring
Than having someone talk on something
They don’t really know anything about to begin with
*/But let me share just a couple things I think I know about DNA/*
*DNA*…
*/is the fundamental building block /*
for an individual's entire genetic makeup–our hereditary blueprint
*/determines our physical characteristics/*, such as
eye and hair color, height, and bone structure
*/is a component of virtually every cell in the human body/*.
Except red blood cells
*/is the same in each cell and /*
it does not change throughout a person's lifetime.
Same in your blood, skin, saliva, bones, hair, etc
It can be damaged but it is very difficult to do
But your Body actually has processes that are repairing
The DNA continuously is repairing
Always on the look our to repair DNA damage
*/And I think one of the most amazing things about it is/*
*/That it is both complex and relatively simple/*
is made up of 4 different A T C G nucleotides
This four molecules form the bases for virtually everything in DNA
combine in various ways to make tens of thousands of different
DNA---to---RNA---to ---Proteins
*DNA Size illustration*
Ink Dot=1 Millimeter (1,000th or a meter)
100 human cells in that width
DNA in each cell- if unwound= 2 meters
If all the DNA in your body was stretched out
From here to the moon and back 70 times
*CSI*
When it is all said and done…
The DNA in our body simplest, smallest and most specific
Identifier of who we are…
The DNA in your cells is so specific to you,
That it has revolutionized criminal prosecution
People have been convicted because of it
Others have been set free after being wrongly convicted.
*/You may be wondering why all this about DNA?/*
When we think of the human body
And what it looks like…and how it functions
The reality of all that our bodies are
DNA is at the core of that discussion
It is DNA that drives the fundamental aspects of who we are as humans
You are male or female…tall or short…
You have brown eyes or blue eyes…dark skin or light skin…
You have straight hair or curly hair…lots or it or little left…
*/because of your DNA/*
*Theme Point:*
*/While there is much research into Gene Therapy/*
Making your DNA act differently to cure disease
*/Currently the only tools/* we have to change our physical bodies
are */clothing, tattoos, body piercings, cosmetics or cosmetic surgery/*
No matter how much money you spend…currently you can’t fundamentall
Change your physical body
*/But there is good news…/*
In a spiritual sense…change is possible
And that is what I would like us to look at today
Please open you Bibles this morning to *Romans 2:17-29*
Two weeks ago…Fred mentioned this passage in one of sermons
On the book of Hosea…in his current sermon series “A Divine Divorce”
He made a reference to the reality that
God’s having chosen one group of people
to be the recipients of his particular favor
did not imply that he could not also remove that favor
In this passage…one of the early Christian leaders…Paul
Is writing to a mixed group of both Jewish and non-Jewish
People living in Rome
Many would be Christians, but not necessarily everyone who read this
Many of the believers in Christ were Jews…but not all
Earlier in this chapter he makes the argument
That just because you claim to know God
Doesn’t mean He won’t judged you at the end of your life
The Bible is clear that at the end of our lives
Every one of us will face a time of Judgment
When we will stand before God
And be held accountable for our lives.
In today’s passage he is going to build upon that as he speaks to
The very special relationship Jewish people have with God.
*/Prayer:/* Lord, once again we are taking the time to open the Bible, your Holy Word communicated to us for our good and your glory.
We ask that you, Holy Spirit would come and guide us in this process.
Lord, guide my mind so that the words I speak are the ones you desire to be said.
And Lord, guide our hearts that the words we hear would be more than just head knowledge to us, and that we would live according to what you reveal.
*The Privilege of Being Jews (V 17-20) *
The first verses of this passage talk about the privileges of being a Jew
*READ V 17*
*1.
They are called Jews*
Throughout history this name has been significant
