The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon.

Do not take your salvation for granted and get complacent lest you engage in spiritual pride. It takes vigilance to stay by the stuff. In the Old Testament the children of Israel drifted away repeatedly and much of the church in America today has departed from the ways of God, but there is still time to return to Him.

A lesson from the Apostle Paul, as someone who once rejected Christ, shows us that we should not get puffed up in our calling as gentiles.

Romans 11. VF-2431.

'The prophet Isaiah foretold of Christ, but he also prophesied that there would be people who would not be able to hear and receive the message. The rejection of Christ by the Jews was part of that prophecy, as well as the grace extended to the gentiles who can hear His word. God chooses who He will save, but those chosen should not be boastful or have a sense of entitlement. We cannot know who God choses; our job is to keep trusting and looking to Him. Romans, Isaiah.

Why do some Jews still reject Christ? God has the right to choose whom He will save, whom He will show mercy, and whom He will reward. He also has the right to choose whom He will not. Don't assume you know which is which. Romans 9:15-26. VF-2427.
