READ: Romans 15:25-33
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Romans 15:27
To be a partaker is to join yourself to something and become united with it. The Gentiles have partaken of the spiritual blessings of Jews. There are people who are blessed with spiritual things and it is important to join yourself to them so that you can partake of the spiritual things that they have. What are some of the spiritual things that people have?
Some people have the spiritual grace to plant churches, to build churches and to send missionaries into the whole world. When I visited Dr. Cho’s church in Korea, I discovered that they had sent missionaries to all parts of the world. They seemed to do it with ease. On the display boards, I saw pictures of Korean missionaries in almost every country of the world. You can have some of the spiritual things that others have if you are prepared to pay the price.
We, the Gentiles, have joined ourselves and become united with Jews in their spiritual things. We are so united with them that we use the same holy book. The Torah, which is the Holy Book of the Jews is simply the Bible without the New Testament. Why do we use the same holy book as the Jews? Because we have become partakers of their spiritual things! When you become a partaker of another person’s spiritual things, you will start to use his books, his videos and his audio messages. You will use the same tools and materials that he uses.
We are completely merged with Jews in our belief in Jehovah. We share with the Jews the God who saves, heals and delivers. That is what it means to become a partaker.
