Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (According as it is written, GOD hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? GOD forbid: but rather through their fall Salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. (Rom 11:5-11)
GOD elected grace for those who believe. Because of His mercy, He elected to pardon those who believe in Him, from Abraham, who believed GOD and it was imputed to him for righteousness, to faithful Jews that obeyed the Law because of their faith, to Christians today, who have repented of their sIn, and put their faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, believers of every age have trusted Him for Salvation and obeyed His Word, rightly divided, as it was given them.
GOD is not done with Israel, nationally or spiritually, for after this present Church age, Israel will once again be the center of attention, by GOD, and by the world. When GOD takes His current ambassadors, His Church, out of this lost and dying world, He spokesmen for the next age, one of readiness and Tribulation, will be Jews with the Gospel of the Kingdom once again. The Kingdom that was neigh them when the King was here, and is coming when the King comes to rule and reign here on this earth.
Until that day, we who are His and of His Church, the Body of Christ, are to be about our Father's business. We are to share His love with others that they may know Him. We are to live His life that all may know we are His disciples. We are to go and make disciples with the Gospel of grace that both Jew and Gentile in this age may be saved and enter into a right relationship with GOD through faith by grace, though it was a mystery before Christ came, died and rose again, and it is a stumbling block and offense to those who are perishing.
We are commanded to go and tell, and as we go, minister as His ambassadors to this lost and dying world. Just as we could not, they cannot save themselves, by religion, works, or the Law, so they must hear the Good News of Salvation, by faith in Christ and repentance of their sIn. We minister to those who are hurting that they may see Jesus in us, the Hope of Glory. We disciple one another in His Word, that we may grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord. We love one another that all may know we are His disciples. We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who will hear, and living the Gospel we preach, we lift Him up that all that believe may receive Him by faith and have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
