Subject: O.T. Israel salvation? |
Bible Note: Zach, Charis, Regarding your thinking about losing your salvation, This can not be done. Neither of you have the power to overcome God. (John 10:28,29) Now take the lesson of Abraham. Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." So God gave him the promise of land and a large family, and the Savior to come from his seed. But at the first sign of trouble, what did he do? 10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. 12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, "This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you." He left the land God gave him for a foreign land. He feared for his life even after God told him he would be the father of a large nation. He disobeyed. He lost faith. He bore false witness. Yet God saved him in spite of this because God will work his plan no matter how hard you try to foul it up! You do not have the power to thwart what God has put forward! Shame on both of you for your arrogance! You do not mean to be, I know. But how is it then that you doubt the power of God? Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the **power of God to salvation** for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. |
