"If God abandons His promises to Israel, then He cannot be trusted--He is a liar, but we know better don't we? Numbers 23:19 says 'God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?' That is good news this morning isn't it? It's good news for Israel because in Romans 11:25 the Apostle Paul says 'in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob; and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.' You see God has not forsaken or replaced Israel even though they have forsaken and replaced Him, and He will not forsake you either. The Abrahamic covenant is the guiding covenant of redemptive history because it is the vehicle through which salvation comes to fallen sinful man through the promised offspring of Abraham, the Son of David, the Lord Jesus Christ." |
