1 | Every nation from Noah's son? | Bible general Archive 2 | ljw9292 | 122786 | ||
I guess what I am looking for is a reason for existing. If God created Adam and Eve as the perfect human beings He wanted to fellowship with, and "if" they were the beginning of "God's Chosen People",therefore Jewish, I was concerned about not being able to be with Him, no matter how much I love Him and want to do what is right. I know Jesus is the Christ and I believe in Him and I want to be as close to Him as the "Chosen Ones" can. I wanted to know "why" they are so special that they are considered His people, and no matter how much they sin and don't believe in Jesus as the Messiah, He will still accept them in the end and the nation of Jews will be saved, no matter what,I THINK. | ||||||

Israel was chosen. No question about it. But chosen for what? FOR WHAT? Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: '(1) to witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry. Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 43:10,12 '(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God. Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ; 1 Chronicles 17:20,21 ; Psalms 144:15 '(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture. Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Romans 3:1,2 '(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah. Genesis 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 28:10-14; 49:10 ; 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3' (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 11".
