1 | OT Promises for New Testament believers? | Heb 8:9 | Mommapbs | 60550 | ||
Thanks Searcher! I read your references and don't understand how you arrived at the statement,"We cannot claim those which do not belong to us, including 1 Chr 7:14." This is a promise, yes as it was written to Israel, but what about Romans 9:23-26, 30-33? What about this righteousness that comes from faith? Doesn't our training in this righteouness come from ALL Scripture? (2 Tim 3:16) Woe is me if I (as one of His people who are not His people Hosea 2:23) cannot depend upon the promise of God (to Israel)that He will forgive me when I call upon Him in repentance! (2 Chron 7:14) Blessings, Mommapbs |

2 | OT Promises for New Testament believers? | Heb 8:9 | Searcher56 | 60556 | ||
Mommapbs, It should be 2 Chr 7:14. 2 Chr 7:13 "If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14 and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. We, as Christians, may be His people and called by His name. However, we do not have land, which describes a nation, in particular Israel. It is important to read the entire context. This verse also is not the USA. We are not His people and nor called by His name. We have not seen locust for awhile. Romans 9:23-26, 30 is about us Gentiles ... Romans 9:27-29, 31-33 is about Israel. Searcher |
