Current Day Israel - Part Three

Psalm 122:6 says, "Pray for the Peace Of Jerusalem." We are opening our message with a reminder to pray for God's hand of protection for Israel and the Jewish people world-wide. In Israel over the last two weeks there has been a number of terrorist attacks on civilians resulting in 11 deaths. We believe Psalm 122:6 is a directive from God. Please pray daily for this protection over Israel.

Israel's government also needs our urgent prayers. A key government member resigned saying, "I cannot be part of a movement trying to eliminate the Jewish Heritage in Israel." If another government member resigns, a new election will be necessary. Please pray for God's will to be done.

"Israel Seeks Righteousness By Works." This is the title of Romans 9:30-32 that says, "What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith; but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. Why? Because they did not seek it by faith."

In reality, the above verses are a brief comparison of the Old Blood Covenant and the New Blood Covenant. The distinct difference between the two Blood Covenants is the method of seeking righteousness or the proper relationship with Jehovah God. The Old Blood Covenant was established when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandants plus verbally presenting an additional 631 other laws. This was and still is impossible for anyone to obey.

Romans 9:30 says the Gentiles attained Righteousness By Faith. This brief statement actually defines the New Blood Covenant. Jehovah God established this Covenant through the Death and Resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Hebrews 8:6 referring to Jesus says, "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better Covenant, which was established on better promises." God desires for all people, Jew and Gentile, to be saved having all their sins forgiven and to spend Eternity with Him when they die.

Possibly this message has helped you understand that trying to keep the Law is not the way to have a proper relationship with God and you now desire to live under the New Blood Covenant. Please pray with me the following prayer:

Jesus, I know I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins

I Believe Jesus Is Lord And  . . .

God Raised Him From The Dead

Please Come And Live In My Heart As My Savior

Thank You Jesus

Blessings,
