Subject: What makes Christianity different |
Bible Note: Johnny: You asked "What about Israel? I hope you don't mind me butting in. In John 1: 11-12 "He (Jesus) came unto his own and his own received him not. But as man as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them which believe on his name" In other words when Jesus Christ came into the world he came to save sinners of all race and nation. There have been thousands of Israelites who have trusted Christ as saviour and Lord beginning with the apostles who spread the gospel to their own people first, before the message was spread to the Gentile nations. Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the promise of a redeemer to all people. In Romans 3:23 we find that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The good news is that Christ died for all. And today regardless of our background we can be brought nigh to God through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Israel is in a privileged position, for first they were given the prophecies regarding the coming redeemer. There were some at his birth who recognized him, others during his life and many after his death and resurrection. However, as we experience today, it is the few who are willing to acknowledge their need of him and to acknowledge that he has met their need completely. God bless Robert |
