This introduction is a work in progress. I will continue to update this as I am led by the Spirit of our Lord Jesus.........
God's desire has always been to transition us from physical beings into spiritual beings.
Everything physical has an end or a life span, all things spiritual are eternal, or without end. That was Gods' desire from the "beginning". A relationship without end.
God is not replacing anyone for anyone else. God does not abandon any people. God does not change His mind. God's predetermined offer to make us eternal has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus to anyone who believes.
Abraham was chosen by God to physically demonstrate what God would do Spiritually for all mankind, including Abraham and his descendants: past, present and future. God wants to transition all of us from physical/ to spirtual. From temporay/ to eternal.
The Bible speaks to us in "parables", which is a story about an event that uses physical, tangible elements that we can see, touch and understand to describe spiritual, eternal things we can't see touch or understand. God did not record Jewish History because it is the past. He recorded it because it is the future. The physical History of the Jews is the forshadowing of the Spiritual history of "all mankind".
The Bible can only be divided into 2 catagories. Temporary and eternal. What happened physically, describes what will happen, eternally. What happened to one people, chosen by God, and recorded for our instruction, will happen to all people Loved by God.
1 Corinthians 15:46
The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.John 5:24
Jesus said: 24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:5
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Praise Jesus!!!
