FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 11:25–27: For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
God has promised to save His people, and He will keep His promise. There are those who interpret this as meaning salvation to individuals through the Gospel, but it is my conviction that the prophet has national conversion in mind. “All Israel shall be saved” does not mean that every Jew who has ever lived will be converted, but that the Jews living when the Redeemer returns will see Him, receive Him, and be saved. There are too many details in these Old Testament prophecies of national restoration for Israel for us to spiritualize them and apply them to the church today. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You. Psalm 22:27
Do you still have a heart for your lost family members and close friends? Have you forsaken them in failing to pray for them? Have you become discouraged by their desire for the world and not for Jesus? Remember the patience of our Lord. He never quits loving & seeking the lost & wayward. Let’s do the same! Keep praying.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
His plan from the beginning will be fulfilled in the end.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
“…Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
Dear Father, thank you for sending Your son to be my Savior and my Lord. Amen.
