O Jerusalem!

God is faithful. The Lord is eternally trustworthy, but there is a major difficulty in this truth. What about his promise to Abraham? Why does Israel struggle to possess the land of their inheritance? For God to maintain his honor, Israel must own the land forever (Psa 105:8-10). It has become popular among Christians to think that God is finished with Israel and is now committed to the church. However, if God does not fulfill his covenant with Abraham, then he can’t be trusted by the church. The truth is that Israel is still the apple of God’s eye (Rom 11). In her blessing we are blessed. We are not saved in lieu of her but in her salvation is our salvation (Joh 4:22). Keep your eyes on Israel!
