Unto them were committed the oracles of God.

"What advantage then hath the Jew? Or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God."

The oracles of God are the things He said... His Word. The Jews were not saved by their religious acts, but they still had the advantage over gentiles because God committed His Word to them.

I preached last night at our Wednesday evening services at Market Place Apartments that we have the advantage as believers (most of them are professing Christians), because God has committed His Word to us... and that it builds our faith (Romans 10:17), gives us purpose (Ephesians 4) and promises us rewards in Heaven (Matthew 25).

The group of 14 found those words very encouraging.
