“I do not become devoted in the true sense until I have found my rest in the Lord Jesus. I am, up to this point, rather looking to receive from Him. I am more an object to myself; but when I find how fully I am an object to Him, then my heart is at liberty to make Him its object, He having made...

Paul makes a distinct identification between Israel and the Church. Firstly, there is never any language that shows God's disapproval with the Church, hence "God hath not cast away His people" is in reference to non-Christians. Also, when Scripture uses the terminology "His people," it always...

Yes, how the patience and love of God for His "people" is manifested!

We would need Scripture to support what we believe. I see no Scripture showing Israel being "cast away" (Rom 11:1; 2, 15, 23-28). "Because of unbelief they were broken off" but "if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in" (20, 23). "And so all Israel shall be saved" (26). There's...

Many are not going to understand God's eschatological plans for Israel. I post the information for those who will understand. The Jews are the same concerning sin, but God has chosen them to be a people for Him, and He will be bringing those who believe in Him to Himself. God will not let this...

This is true, only Christians inherit heaven. The Jews miss out and inherit the earth, which is what God intended and knew. This is what the "blessed" is in Jhn 20:29: "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have...

It's my understanding that there are no chances God has with Israel. They have always been in union with Him (those believing in Him), and will eventually be in fellowship with Him, just not in the sonship capacity, but a "people of God," instead of children of God.

Israel has a special calling (even though they don't believe in Christ yet) that places them in a different position than the rest of the world. They are still in union with Him, which answers to why Romans 11 manifests Him eventually bringing them back to Himself.

Amen, the Son of God on the Cross! God sent Him and He came; and this is a Covenant of Redemption which is between the Father and the Son, and believers in Christ receive of its benefits (salvation).

The Jews who believe in God (Jn 14:1) but not in Jesus will believe in Christ when they see Him during the millennium, but it will be too late for them to inherit sonship. They will be on the new earth and continue to be a people of God, but not children of God; the children of God will inherit...

The Lord Jesus is not now on earth. He has ascended into heaven. What a very peculiar position then is mine here! Sensible of the worthlessness of the first man (Adam—NC), and of the absence of the Second. My own life—that of the first man—I have; the One I love—the Man who has glorified God...

A genuine Christian will always allow God to "work" in him, because that's what God is doing; causing him to do "will and do His good pleasure"!

It happens all in good time because it's God "working"!

One who is born again will live for God, because He will "work in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Phl 2:13). If He doesn't "work in you," you're not His!

God has not "cast away His people" (Rom 11:1, 2). Those among Israel that believe in God but not in Christ are still in union with God, but not in fellowship; and the rest of Israel who do not believe in God have not obtained union with Him: "Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for...

If we are talking the Law of Moses (Pentateuch), it was "taken away" (Heb 10:9); plus the Law was only to Israel (Jews).

The word "law" has two basic meanings: the Decalogue; or a principle or force. A good example I think is "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Gal 6:2). "Fulfil the law of Christ"; which is the law of love to one another, John 13:34 in opposition to the law of...

Amen, faith first, which is all that is necessary for salvation; then eventually as we mature comes the proof of being in Christ's righteousness by the works of His righteousness!

Being "righteous" began with Noah (Gen 6:8; 7:1), but this righteousness always comes from God, and thus it is always God's righteousness people are in, for they have none of their own (due to possessing the old man or sin nature). This answers to "There is none righteous, no, not one" (as to...

They were "forgiven" when they by faith obeyed the Law (Num 15:25, 26). This didn't bring righteousness (which can only be imputed from Christ) nor justification, just moral favor with God. Grace and fellowship comes by faith the Lord Jesus.
