The rejection of Jesus by many Israelites is God‘s plan for the salvation of the nations, and even of Israel itself.

Although many Jews did not believe the gospel and many non-Jews did, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

God is free to define Israel, to show mercy or wrath, and to add to Israel from the nations.

Although Christians may suffer much, and many things are against us, we will end up being hyper-victorious in Christ.

Because of the Holy Spirit, believers can live in a way that pleases God.

Although sin twists the law for evil purposes, the law itself is good.

Not only did Christ die and rise for his people, but they also died and rose with him, liberating them from sin to live new lives.

Adam was a type of Christ, each having the same role as the representative of his people, but with opposite outcomes.

Not only are believers in Jesus justified before God, but we also have peace, grace, hope, love, reconciliation, and salvation.

Abraham’s example proves that the only way to be right with God is through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works, ritual, law, or the what we can now see.

After ruling out the possibility of being right with God through the law, Paul presented the only way – through faith in Jesus Christ.

In the conclusion of his case against humanity, Paul demonstrated that all are under sin, which is why all need the redemption that is only in Christ.

Salvation is not a matter of racial identity or religious privilege but of true righteousness, which comes through the gospel.

Although God gave humanity up to our sins, he also gave up his Son for our sins.

The gospel is the power of salvation for all who believe because it reveals the righteousness of God that is by faith from first to last.

Paul began his letter to the Romans by explaining the gospel of God and its purpose to bring about the obedience of faith among the nations.

1 Samuel ends on a sad but hopeful note with Saul killed and David waiting in the wings, but even David and the rest of the kings of Judah were preparation for the ideal Messiah King.

The opposite results of David’s and Saul’s desperate measures hold lessons about how to live in the world while not being of the world.

Three incidents in the life of David illustrate the principle that believers should not pay evil for evil but overcome evil with good while trusting the Lord and letting his hand save.

God sent his unique Son in human flesh to be the propitiation for sins, Savior of the world, and life for all who believe.

God’s continued rescuing of David from Saul show that God always reserves a remnant of his people and ultimately saves his anointed one from death.

While David used desperate and even deceptive means of escape, God provided for him because of his grace and faithfulness.

As David’s covenant with David held firm through difficult times, so God’s covenant with us keeps us throughout our lives.

Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.

One of the best known stories of the Old Testament is not only about David and Goliath but also about the Lord and the Champion to come.
