#7 Are You God’s Favorite

Are You God’s Favorite?

Continuing through the book of Romans we are now in Chapter 3. When you read through this Chapter Paul takes quite some time to make and rectify the difference between being a Jew and a Gentile. In so doing he framed up our world today in a beautiful way. There was a huge gulf between these two groups, the Gentiles were angry at the Jewish nation because they had the audacity to say that they were God’s chosen people, and better than everyone else.  And the Jews didn’t care for the Gentile nations because they were pagan and ungodly.  

 

So where is the truth in all of this? To be honest both sides had their truth, and it really was truth. Like it or not, and because of the faith of one man, and I’m talking about one of God’s favorites, God took all of his descendants and they became God’s chosen people. So the way that the Gentiles looked at the Jewish nation, made the Jews boasting snobs.  Then for the most part the Gentiles were a polytheistic people, who created and served idols, even to the point of sacrificing their own children at times.  Here is the thing, God loves us all, and because of that He made a way where there was no way, way to bring the Jew and Gentile to the same place with Him, and that was Jesus. He loves us all equally. So that should have fixed it all but it hasn’t.
