Isaiah
cries out concerning Israel:
'Though
the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,
ONLY
THE REMNANT WILL BE SAVED.
For
the Lord will carry out His Sentence on Earth
With
Speed and Finality.
It
is just as Isaiah said previously:
'Unless
the Lord Almighty had left us Descendants,
We
would have become like Sodom
And
we would have been like Gomorrah.'
What
then shall we say?
That
the Gentiles, who did not pursue Righteousness,
Have
attained it,
A
RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH;
But
Israel, who pursued a Law of Righteousness,
HAS
NOT OBTAINED IT
WHY
NOT?
Because
they pursued it not by Faith
But
as if it were by works.
THEY
STUMBLED OVER THE “STUMBLING STONE.”
As
it is written:
'SEE,
I LAY IN ZION A STONE (CHRIST)
That
causes men to Stumble
And
a Rock (Christ) that makes them Fall,
AND
THE ONE WHO TRUSTS IN HIM
WILL
NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME.'
(Romans
9:27-33)
It
is by Grace you have been Saved, through Faith--
And
this not from yourselves,
IT
IS THE GIFT OF GOD—NOT BY WORKS,
So
that no one can boast.
For
we are God's Workmanship,
Created
in Christ Jesus to do Good Works,
Which
God prepared in Advance for us to do.
(Ephesians
2:8-10)
Faith,
is the Gift of God.
To be
Born Again is the Gift of God;
To be
Born of the Spirit is the Gift of God.
“You
Must Be Born Again.” (John 3:7)
The
Remnant consists of those who are Born Again,
And
who are walking in the Light of Christ Jesus.
