Gentiles who believe are grafted in—adopted into the promises, the family, and the hope of Israel. In Christ, there is no division. We are one people of God.
God’s mercy is not earned—it is freely given according to His sovereign will. He is just in all His ways and gracious beyond measure, choosing whom He will have mercy on for His glory.
Christ fulfilled the law perfectly and brought it to its intended goal. Righteousness is no longer through works, but by faith in Him who is the end of the law for all who believe.
Our good works must flow from a heart that seeks to please God, not to exalt ourselves. When we serve, give, or act in righteousness, it should not be for recognition or self-worth—but to honor God. He sees what’s done in secret, and it’s His approval that matters.
When we come to Christ, our old self is put to death. We no longer live for ourselves, but for the One who gave Himself for us. We are crucified with Christ—dead to sin, but alive to God through faith.
Those who are in Christ are true children of Abraham—not by blood, but by faith. The promise was always meant for a people of faith, both Jew and Gentile, united in Christ as heirs according to the promise.
