Two Distinct People

The Jewish nation of Israel are God’s chosen people. He chose to use them to birth the Messiah and gave Him as the savior of the world. As we read scripture, it is so important that we understand how God has and is working with Israel, because they play a major role in biblical prophecy. Israel is a distinct people group God has chosen to work with AND the church is a distinct people group God has chosen to work through. Both are important and both are distinct in scripture. As we pick up our study today in Romans 11, Paul reflects on the relationship between Israel and the rest of the world in God’s plan of salvation. We learn how God is NOT done working with Israel, nor has he rejected them. However, salvation HAS been given to both the Jew and the gentile. Let’s dive into our study we’ve titled “Some Believe.”
