The Bible contains many promises to God’s people and Jesus made it clear that He came to bring salvation to both the Jews and the Gentiles. In a society that is often prejudiced and anti-Semitic, we need to correct our worldview to one founded on biblical principles that honour the Jewish people. When we do, we can also be confident that blessings follow those who honour the people of God.

In this podcast, guest speakers Barry and Batya Segal from the charity Vision For Israel & The Joseph Storehouse share a powerful message about God’s love for both Jews and Gentiles.

Vision for Israel is a non-profit, charitable organisation providing humanitarian aid, disaster relief and community support to the poor and needy people living in Israel and the Middle East.

Further Scripture:
Genesis 12:1-3, Ezekiel 36:24-28, Jeremiah 31:31-33, Romans 1:16, 10:1-13, 11:1-12, John 3:16-17, Matthew 25:40-45, Zechariah 8:2-10, Psalm 122:6, Jeremiah 31:6-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17

Apply The Word
Has there been false doctrine, prejudice, or anti-Semitism in your life, either from wider society or your family line? From God’s original promise to Abraham in Genesis 12, He made it clear that blessings and curses are reciprocated in the manner someone blesses or curses the people of God. If there is anything in your heart against the Jewish people, renounce to the past and pray that God will give you a corrected heart. Read Romans chapters 9-11 for the Apostle Paul’s teaching on a consistent worldview towards the Jewish people and how Jews and Gentiles can be grafted into Christ and the people of God (Romans 11:11-24).

Do you recognise that whether you are Jew or Gentile, Christ is your messiah? The Lord died for all mankind, and as a result you are grafted into God’s people. Read the many scriptures shared on Sunday (found above) and see the promises that have been made from Genesis 12 onwards to the descendants of Abraham. Whether you are Jew or Gentile, when you believe in Christ you are a new creation; the old is gone and the new has come and you have an opportunity to enter into the great promises of God. Pray that God will reveal to you His plans and purpose for your life as an heir to the promise.
