Who Are Those People?

Summary

The sermon explores the identity of true Israel as described by Paul in the Book of Romans, emphasizing that being a Jew is not merely a matter of physical descent but of inward spiritual transformation and faith in Jesus Christ. It highlights the tension between Jews and Gentiles in the early church and explains that many Jews, despite their zeal for God, rejected Christ and thus remain under judgment until they accept Him by faith. The preacher stresses that God's election and mercy extend to both Jews and Gentiles who believe, and warns believers against falling into blind zeal or unbelief. Ultimately, the message calls for faith in Christ as the fulfillment of righteousness and a plea for spiritual awakening among those who are ignorant of God's righteousness.
