How do I know I am in the right or wrong church!!

Not every church, Pastor will go to heaven!! You must make sure you belong to a church where the Holy Spirit moving. Ask God to help you to show you the right church!! It is very important to belong to the right church. A church where you are comfortable is a big NO!! You have to be challenged in your faith. Your faith must grow. Walk-on-the-water faith church, Holy Spirit-moving is the right church!! Make sure your are Born Again too!! You must repent and give your life to Jesus and be baptised!! A big NO church is where the Holy Spirit is not moving, too many doctorines, like the normal traditional churches. You must stay far away from them!! Baby christening is not biblical!! They like to preach what people want to hear and not what they must hear. Focus now on finding the right church. Ask God to show you the right church and to open doors for you to get there!! But it is of life importance that you must go to the right church!! A religious church is big trouble. It is not going to help you to get to heaven!! A faith based church where the Holy Spirit is moving, where you grow in your faith, where you are challenged in your faith, where they do baptisms too, and teach the Word of God!!

Urgent Notice!!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!! Jesus is coming sooner as you think!! Be Ready!! Keep yourself busy with God's work and not yours!!!

Romans 12: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 12

ועתה הנני מזהיר אתכם אחי ברחמי אלהים אשר תשימו את גויותיכם קרבן חי וקדוש ונרצה לאלהים והיתה זאת עבודתכם השכלית׃

2 ואל תשתוו לעולם הזה כי אם התחלפו בהתחדש דעתכם למען תבחנו לדעת מה הוא רצון האלהים הטוב והחמד והשלם׃

3 כי על פי החסד הנתן לי אמר אני לכל איש ואיש מכם לבלתי רום לבבו למעלה מן הראוי כי אם יהי צנוע במחשבותיו כפי מדת האמונה אשר חלק לו האלהים׃

4 כי כאשר בגוף אחד יש לנו אברים הרבה ואין פעלה אחת לכל האברים׃

5 כן אנחנו הברים גוף אחד במשיח וכל אחד ואחד ממנו אבר לחברו הוא׃

6 ויש לנו מתנות שנות כפי החסד הנתן לנו אם נבואה תהי כפי מדת האמונה׃

7 ואם לאיש שמוש יעמל בשמוש ואם מורה בהוראה׃

8 ואם מוכיח בתוכחה הנותן יעשה בתם לבב והמנהיג בשקידה והגמל חסד בסבר פנים יפות׃

9 האהבה תהיה בלי חנפה שנאו את הרע ודבקו בטוב׃

10 באהבת אחים הראו חבה יתרה ובכבוד הקדימו איש את רעהו׃

11 שקדו ואל תעצלו התלהבו ברוח עבדו את האדון׃

12 שמחו בתוחלת סבלו בצרה שקדו על התפלה׃

13 השתתפו בצרכי הקדושים רדפו הכנסת ארחים׃

14 ברכו את רדפיכם ברכו ואל תקללו׃

15 שמחו עם השמחים ובכו עם הבכים׃

16 לב אחד יהי לכלכם אל תהלכו בגדלות כי אם התנהגו עם השפלים אל תהיו חכמים בעיניכם׃

17 אל תשלמו לאיש רעה תחת רעה דרשו הטוב בעיני כל אדם׃

18 אם תוכלו ככל אשר תמצא ידכם היו בשלום עם כל אדם׃

19 אל תנקמו נקם ידידי כי אם תנו מקום לרגז כי כתוב לי נקם ושלם אמר יהוה׃

20 לכן אם רעב שנאך האכילהו לחם ואם צמא השקהו מים כי גחלים אתה חתה על ראשו׃

21 אל נא יכבשך הרע כבוש אתה את הרע בטוב׃

English:

"A Living Sacrifice to God

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!

Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.

Instead,

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.”

Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."

Romans 11: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 11

ובכן אמר אני הכי זנח האלהים את עמו חלילה כי גם אנכי בן ישראל מזרע אברהם למטה בנימן׃

2 לא זנח האלהים את עמו אשר ידעו מקדם או הלא תדעו את אשר הכתוב אמר באליהו כאשר קרא אל האלהים על ישראל לאמר׃

3 יהוה את נביאיך הרגו ואת מזבחתיך הרסו ואותר אני לבדי ויבקשו את נפשי׃

4 אבל מה ענה אתו מענה אלהים השארתי לי שבעת אלפים איש אשר לא כרעו לבעל׃

5 וכן גם בעת הזאת נותרה שארית על פי בחירת החסד׃

6 ואם היתה זאת על ידי החסד לא היתה מתוך המעשים כי לולי כן החסד איננו עוד חסד ואם היתה מתוך המעשים איננו עוד חסד כי לולי כן המעשים יחדל להיות מעשה׃

7 ועתה מה הוא את אשר בקש ישראל לא השיג רק הנבחרים הם השיגו והנשארים השמינו לבבם׃

8 ככתוב נתן להם האלהים רוח תרדמה עינים לא לראות ואזנים לא לשמע עד היום הזה׃

9 ודוד הוא אמר יהי שלחנם לפח ולרשת ולמוקש ולשלומים להם׃

10 תחשכנה עיניהם מראות ומתניהם תמיד המעד׃

11 ובכן אני אמר הנכשלו למען יפלו חלילה אך בפשעם יצאה הישועה לגוים למען הקניאם׃

12 ואם פשעם עשר העולם וחסרונם עשר הגוים מלאם על אחת כמה וכמה׃

13 כי אליכם הגוים אני מדבר וכפי אשר שליח הגוים אנכי את שרותי אפאר׃

14 לו אוכל להקניא את בשרי ולהושיע מקצתם׃

15 כי אם געילתם רצוי לעולם מה אפוא תהיה אספתם הלא חיים מן המתים׃

16 ואם התרומה קדש כן גם העסה ואם השרש קדש כן גם הענפים׃

17 וכי נקפו מקצת הענפים ואתה זית היער הרכבת במקומם ונתחברת לשרש הזית ולדשנו׃

18 אל תתפאר על הענפים ואם תתפאר דע שאינך נשא את השרש כי אם השרש הוא נשא אותך׃

19 וכי תאמר הלא נקפו הענפים למען ארכב אנכי׃

20 כן הוא המה נקפו על אשר לא האמינו ואתה הנך קים על ידי האמונה אל תתגאה כי אם ירא׃

21 כי האלהים אם לא חס על הענפים הנולדים מן העץ אולי לא יחוס גם עליך׃

22 לכן ראה נא טובת אלהים וזעמו זעמו על הנפלים ועליך טובתו אם תעמד בטובתו ואם אין כי עתה גם אתה תגדע׃

23 וגם המה אם לא יעמדו במרים ירכבו כי יכל האלהים לשוב להרכיבם׃

24 כי אם אתה נגזרת מעץ אשר הוא בטבעו זית יער והרכבת שלא כטבע בזית טוב אלה היצאים ממנו על אחת כמה וכמה שירכבו בזית שלהם׃

25 כי לא אכחד מכם אחי את הסוד הזה פן תהיו חכמים בעיניכם כי טמטום הלב למקצת נהיה לישראל עד כי יכנס מלא הגוים׃

26 ובכן כל ישראל יושע ככתוב ובא לציון גואל וישיב פשע מיעקב׃

27 ואני זאת בריתי אותם בהסירי חטאתם׃

28 הן לפי הבשורה שנואים הם למענכם אך לפי הבחירה חביבים הם למען האבות׃

29 כי לא ינחם האלהים על מתנותיו ועל קריאתו׃

30 כי כאשר גם אתם מלפנים ממרים הייתם את פי אלהים ועתה הוחנתם במרים של אלה׃

31 כן גם אלה עתה ממרים היו למען על ידי חנינתכם גם הם יחנו׃

32 כי האלהים הסגיר את כלם ביד המרי למען יחן את כלם׃

33 מה עמק עשר חכמת אלהים ועשר דעתו משפטיו מי יחקר ודרכיו מי ימצא׃

34 כי מי תכן את רוח יהוה ואיש עצתו יודיענו׃

35 או מי הקדימו וישלם לו׃

36 הלא הכל ממנו והכל בו והכל אליו אשר לו הכבוד לעולמים אמן׃

English:

"God’s Mercy on Israel

I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said, “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!”

It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel have remained faithful because of God’s grace—his undeserved kindness in choosing them. And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.

So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened. As the Scriptures say,

“God has put them into a deep sleep. To this day he has shut their eyes so they do not see, and closed their ears so they do not hear.”

Likewise, David said,

“Let their bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get what they deserve. Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever.”

Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves. Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.

I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.

But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree. But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.

“Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.” Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t spare you either.

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off. And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the power to graft them back into the tree. You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.

God’s Mercy Is for Everyone

I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,

“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.

And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”

Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead. Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy. For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?

For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen."

1. "And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?"

2. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works."

5. "Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

6. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."

7. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple."

8. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. “

9. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."

10. "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith."

11. "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."

Did you know?

It is very, very important to repent. You cannot repent and think you are going to heaven. Repentance mean also no longer I but Christ in me. You have to turn away from your wicked ways. Turn away from your old life. You need to say, "Lord, I am sorry, please forgive me." You need to invite Jesus into your life. You can only enter the Kingdom of God, God's way and not the world's way. The problem is: Are you willing to give up your old life? Are you willing to change? Are you willing to lose friends, family? Are you willing to live for Jesus? Are you willing to lose your life to follow Jesus? You need to turn away from "I, " Are you willing to change from "I. to Jesus? You cannot compromise. You cannot do both, the Jesus way and the world's way. You have to choose and turn back to the Father's house. Acts 3:19: "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out." Acts 2:38: "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 3:8: "Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God." How many times did the disciples say repent, repent and repent in the New Testament? Repent and turn back to Jesus, then you are saved and born again.

Psalm 91:

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation."

Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I come to you and ask you to forgive me for my sins. I surrender my life to you. Come into my life and guide me. Show me your will and not my will. In Jesus Name Amen!!

Romans 10: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 10

אחי חפץ לבבי ותפלתי לאלהים בעד ישראל אשר יושעו׃

2 כי מעיד אני עליהם שיש להם קנאה לאלהים אך לא בדעת׃

3 כי את צדקת אלהים לא ידעו ויבקשו להקים את צדקתם ובעבור זאת לצדקת אלהים לא נכנעו׃

4 כי המשיח סוף התורה לצדקה לכל המאמין בו׃

5 כי משה כתב על דבר הצדקה מתוך התורה אשר יעשה אתם האדם וחי בהם׃

6 והצדקה אשר מתוך האמונה כה אמרת אל תאמר בלבבך מי יעלה השמימה הלא זאת היא להוריד את המשיח׃

7 או מי ירד לתהום זאת היא להעלות את המשיח מן המתים׃

8 אבל מה היא אמרת קרוב אליך הדבר בפיך ובלבבך הוא דבר האמונה אשר אנחנו מבשרים׃

9 כי אם תודה בפיך אשר ישוע הוא האדון ותאמין בלבבך אשר האלהים העירו מן המתים אז תושע׃

10 כי בלבבו יאמין האדם והיתה לו לצדקה ובפיהו יודה והיתה לו לישועה׃

11 כי הכתוב אמר כל המאמין בו לא יבוש׃

12 ואין הבדל בזה בין היהודי ליוני כי אדון אחד לכלם והוא עשיר לכל קראיו׃

13 כי כל אשר יקרא בשם יהוה ימלט׃

14 ועתה איך יקראו אל אשר לא האמינו בו ואיך יאמינו באשר לא שמעו את שמעו ואיך ישמעו באין מגיד׃

15 ואיך יגידו אם אינם שלוחים ככתוב מה נאוו רגלי מבשר שלום מבשר טוב׃

16 אך לא כלם שמעו לקול הבשורה כי ישעיהו אמר יהוה מי האמין לשמעתנו׃

17 לכן האמונה באה מתוך השמועה והשמועה על ידי דבר אלהים׃

18 ואמר הכי לא שמעו אמנם בכל הארץ יצא קום ובקצה תבל מליהם׃

19 ואמר הכי ישראל לא ידע הנה כבר משה אמר אני אקניאכם בלא עם בגוי נבל אכעיסכם׃

20 וישעיהו מלאו לבו לאמר נמצאתי ללא בקשני נדרשתי ללוא שאלו׃

21 ועל ישראל הוא אמר פרשתי ידי כל היום אל עם סורר ומרה׃

English:

"Israel Needs the Gospel

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Israel Rejects the Gospel

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the world.”

But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,

I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”

But Isaiah is very bold and says:

“I was found by those who did not seek Me;

I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

But to Israel he says:

“All day long I have stretched out My hands

To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Romans 9: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 9

אמת אני מדבר במשיח ולא אשקף ודעתי מעידה לי ברוח הקדש׃

2 כי גדול עצבוני ואין קץ לדאבון לבי׃

3 כי מי יתן היתי אני מחרם מן המשיח בעד אחי שארי ובשרי׃

4 אשר הם בני ישראל ויש להם משפט הבנים והכבוד והבריתות ומתן התורה והעבודה וההבטחות׃

5 ולהם האבות ואשר מהם יצא המשיח לפי בשרו אשר הוא אל על הכל מברך לעולמים אמן׃

6 אבל לא כאלו נפל דבר אלהים ארצה כי לא כל אשר הם מישראל גם ישראל המה׃

7 ולא על היותם זרע אברהם כלם בנים הם כי ביצחק יקרא לך זרע׃

8 כלומר לא בני הבשר המה בני האלהים כי אם בני ההבטחה הם הנחשבים לזרע׃

9 כי דבר הבטחה הוא מה שנאמר למועד אשוב ולשרה בן׃

10 ולא זאת בלבד כי כן היה גם ברבקה בהיותה הרה לאחד ליצחק אבינו׃

11 כי בטרם ילדו בניה ועוד לא עשו טוב או רע למען תקום עצת האלהים כפי בחירתו לא מתוך מעשים כי אם כרצון הקרא׃

12 נאמר לה כי רב יעבד צעיר׃

13 ככתוב ואהב את יעקב ואת עשו שנאתי׃

14 אם כן מה נאמר הכי יש עול באלהים חלילה׃

15 כי למשה אמר וחנתי את אשר אחן ורחמתי את אשר ארחם׃

16 ועל כן אין הדבר לא ביד הרצה ולא ביד הרץ כי אם ביד האלהים המרחם׃

17 כי כן הכתוב אמר לפרעה בעבור זאת העמדתיך בעבור הראתך את כחי ולמען ספר שמי בכל הארץ׃

18 ויוצא מזה כי את אשר יחפץ יחננו ואת אשר יחפץ יקשהו׃

19 וכי תאמר אלי מדוע יוכיח עוד נגד רצונו מי יתיצב׃

20 אמנם בן אדם מי אתה אשר תריב את האלהים היאמר יצר ליצרו למה ככה עשיתני׃

21 אם אין רשות ליצר על החמר לעשות מגלם אחד כלי אחד לכבוד ואחד לקלון׃

22 ומה אפוא אם האלהים החפץ להראות זעמו ולהודיע גבורתו נשא בכל ארך רוחו את כלי הזעם הנכונים לאבדון׃

23 להודיע גם את עשר כבודו על כלי החנינה אשר יעדם לכבוד׃

24 והם אנחנו אשר קראם לא מן היהודים בלבד כי אף מן הגוים׃

25 כדברו בהושע אקרא ללא עמי עמי וללא רחמה רחמה׃

26 והיה במקום אשר יאמר להם לא עמי אתם יאמר להם בני אל חי׃

27 וישעיהו צוח על ישראל כי אם יהיה מספר בני ישראל כחול הים שאר ישוב בו כליון חרוץ שוטף צדקה׃

28 כי כלה ונחרצה אדני עשה בקרב הארץ׃

29 וכאשר אמר ישעיהו לפנים לולי יהוה צבאות הותיר לנו שריד כמעט כסדם היינו לעמרה דמינו׃

30 ועתה מה נאמר הגוים אשר לא רדפו אחרי הצדקה השיגו את הצדקה היא הצדקה אשר מתוך האמונה׃

31 וישראל בבקשו אחרי תורת צדקה לתורת הצדקה לא הגיע׃

32 ועל מה יען אשר לא מאמונה דרשוה כי אם ממעשים כי התנגפו באבן נגף׃

33 ככתוב הנני יסד בציון אבן נגף וצור מכשול וכל המאמין בו לא יבוש׃

English:

"God’s Selection of Israel

With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it. My heart is filled with bitter sorrow and unending grief for my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed—cut off from Christ!—if that would save them. They are the people of Israel, chosen to be God’s adopted children. God revealed his glory to them. He made covenants with them and gave them his law. He gave them the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

Well then, has God failed to fulfill his promise to Israel? No, for not all who are born into the nation of Israel are truly members of God’s people! Being descendants of Abraham doesn’t make them truly Abraham’s children. For the Scriptures say, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,” though Abraham had other children, too. This means that Abraham’s physical descendants are not necessarily children of God. Only the children of the promise are considered to be Abraham’s children. For God had promised, “I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

This son was our ancestor Isaac. When he married Rebekah, she gave birth to twins. But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.” In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.”

Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! For God said to Moses,

“I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”

So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what he makes them do?”

No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction. He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to whom he shows mercy, who were prepared in advance for glory. And we are among those whom he selected, both from the Jews and from the Gentiles.

Concerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea,

“Those who were not my people, I will now call my people.

And I will love those whom I did not love before.”

And, “Then, at the place where they were told, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”

And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out,

“Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only a remnant will be saved.

For the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth quickly and with finality.”

And Isaiah said the same thing in another place:

“If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had not spared a few of our children, we would have been wiped out like Sodom, destroyed like Gomorrah.”

Israel’s Unbelief

What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God. And it was by faith that this took place. But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded. Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path. God warned them of this in the Scriptures when he said,

“I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. But anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
