February 2, 2025 - Israel's Privilege / Our Privilige

God chose you to be His people An amazing privilege!!

God chooses His people (you) to be separate, holy, and dedicated to Him...
Deuteronomy 7:6-7 "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord you God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples."

God chooses the least, the smallest and insignificant, in the eyes of the world - 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29

Were all of chosen Israel saved? NO!

The Jews who believed by faith were counted as righteous - Abraham - Genesis 15: 6

Abraham knew nothing about Messiah, nothing about the Gospel and the Cross, etc.

He believed what God revealed to him and was counted as righteous by faith

Jews are not saved by their heritage or religion; they are saved only by faith in Messiah, like the Gentiles

The Jews rejected Messiah!

The assignment to tell the world about Messiah went to the church

The Great Commission is crystal clear... GO AND TELL!!
Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying; 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen."

You have believed and received the gift of salvation; this makes you privileged and responsible!

You are a chosen people, privileged!

You have the privilege of an eternity with God, exploring the vastness of God, FOREVER!

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE WHEN MY JESUS I SHALL SEE!!

Our Great Privilege is to Tell the World About JESUS - OUR LORD!!
