We Are Never "The Only Believer Left"
- No matter how discouraged and isolated we feel, we can know for
certain that God has other believers in places we might
not expect them.
-
Sinful Actions Cannot Thwart God's Sovereign Will
- In God's inscrutable sovereignty, every sin works out according to
His plan. God's plan for Israel will not be derailed by the unbelief
of the majority in the nation.
-
God Generally Works With a Faithful Remnant
- A frequent pattern in Scripture indicates God often works with a
small group of faithful believers within a much larger group. Don't
look at size or popularity to measure a work of God.
-
Like Israel, Our Standing in God's Favor is Also Undeserved
- If we reject Israel in the plan of God and assert our own superiority
in having exercised faith, then we have lost sight of our own
undeservedness. Remember: God revealed Himself to the Gentiles
while the Gentiles where continually not seeking Him!
-
The Jews Are Still God's Chosen People
God's promises to Israel remain today because they are based on
His choice of and promises to the nation which will eventually
be fulfilled through the believing Jewish remnant.
God judges the nations by their treatment of Israel
(
Gen. 12:3
;
Num. 24:9
;
Isa. 49:14-26
;
Mat. 25:40
)
.
A wise nation is careful how it treats Israel!
