Bible Question: why God only stand on Isreal people when in old testament,why not other people? |
Bible Answer: Figoyuen, This is a very good question. I see from your previous posts here that you are a new Christian. I will try to answer your question. May the Lord help me to give you understanding. God's plan to send Jesus the Christ (the Messiah) into the world required a man of faith to become the father of a Kingdom of Priests to lead the world to God: Exodus 19 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel." They were also required to birth the Messiah to save the world from their sins. God always had the whole world in mind for salvation. He wanted Israel to be the leaders through His personal agreements (covenant) with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (who was renamed to "Israel"). Genesis 28 12Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you." Romans 4:9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. Romans 4:12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised. Romans 4:13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all Galatians 3:7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. Galatians 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."[3:8 Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14] Galatians 3:9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. Galatians 3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, As Christians we are hiers to the promises with a better covenant through Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; I hope these scriptures help, Pastor Glenn |
