Romans 9:1-9:5

What About Israel?

It's a shame that there is any anti-semitism in the world. God chose the Jews as the way to bring the world the Law and ultimately His own Son. The whole world should be grateful for the Jewish nation and the Jewish people. And yet there is a difference between the spiritual and physical Israel. And in Romans nine - we'll see that not all Israel is Israel in God's Eyes.

  1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
  2. That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
  3. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
  4. Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
  5. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
