2 | Do Jewish people have to be born again? | Rom 10:12 | kalos | 2970 | ||
1) "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:" Rom 10:12 ASV (1901) . . . 2) To whom was Jesus speaking when he said "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7)? Was it not to Nicodemus, a Jew himself and "a ruler of the Jews"? . . . 3) Yes, Israel was God's chosen nation. But chosen for what? "chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Rom 3:2). Israel was the chosen nation through whom God gave to the world the written Word, the Law and the Prophets, and also the Living Word, His Anointed, the Messiah (Hebrew), the Christ (Greek). . . . To say that the Jewish nation was chosen for salvation is to err. As we know, salvation is open to people of every tribe and tongue and nation. It is open to "whosoever will." . . . Even if the Jewish nation were chosen to salvation, every individual Jewish person would still have to believe that Jesus was the Messiah before he could be saved or born again. To assume that the elect don't even have to trust Christ for salvation is beyond error, it's totally illogical and contradicts every passage of Scripture on the subject of salvation. |
