Paul the Apostle had just told his Roman readers that being a Jew, knowing the law and being circumcised cannot save them (Romans 2:28-29).  They need Jesus the Messiah just as much as the Gentile believers.  But then he asked the question, ‘Is there no benefit to being a Jew?’  Here Paul affirms the Jewish believers: yes, knowing the truth is much better than being ignorant.

But knowledge carries responsibility.  Knowing that God has spoken, it is wise to obey His instructions (Proverbs 29:18).  But to receive knowledge and be indifferent, carelessly disobeying, is an indefensible crime against our Maker (Hebrews 10:26).  Likewise, to hold the 'Words of God' and not pass them on to a dying world is spiritual slaughter by negligence (Ezekiel 33:6).  

God will always stay faithful to His covenant (Deuteronomy 7:9).  He cannot change what He has promised.  Unfaithful people do not prevent God being faithful.  But to those who believed and acted by faith, He credited righteousness (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:3-9); and to those who refused to believe or obey He credited judgement (2 Thessalonians 1:8).

In this age of fast internet communication, we have so much information that we easily lose the sense of privilege when we are told something.  It is no longer a personally addressed letter.  But God's Word is not like that.  He is a person who has chosen to communicate with us as individuals.  Knowing His Word carries personal responsibility, not just for ourselves but for others too.  So, share God's truth and demonstrate that you have received God’s grace by doing it yourself!
