MEMORY VERSE

For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion” (Rom. 9: 15) NKJV

REVISION

God chose to execute His agenda of salvation through the descendants of Abraham. Much of the revelation of who He is came through them, but they have not been able to attain the righteousness which God is offering because they refuse to believe. Their failure to believe has given room for non-Jews to be grafted into the family of God by believing in Jesus as their Saviour. Few of the present day Jews are also turning to Jesus as their Saviour.

Man-made channels of being righ-teous before God cannot meet God’s standard. It is the only channel of righteousness through the atoning death of Jesus on the cross that will suffice. Though the Jews are descendants of Abraham physically, by rejecting Jesus, they forfeit access to eternal life, notwithstanding that they are zealous in practising the religious rites Moses laid down for them.

(STEWARDSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY MONTH)

MEMORY VERSE

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. (Rom. 11:26) NKJV

REVISION

From generation to generation the Jews have rejected the salvation God offers to man  through the death of Jesus on the cross. One would have thought that the Jews spurning the gospel for centuries would have made God cast them off eternally. Yet the nation still occupies an important position in the agenda of God. There is an end-time program for the salvation of the Jews.

God is committed to walking with you in a covenant relationship. He keeps covenants, just like He has kept covenant with the descendants of Abraham for millennia. Though the Jews reject the Saviour, yet God will not cast them off completely. He still holds them dear to His heart. If you walk closely with God in covenant relationship, your descendants also can enjoy the favour He shows to them who love Him.
