This passage states that the covenant God made with Israel long ago can never be broken!

...This truth is a great encouragement to us, isn't it?
...After being baptized, a friend told me, "Someone like you isn't fit to be a Christian!"
✳️I was a bit of a troublemaker in high school...😅
A pastor I know, who was feeling down mentally, was criticized by church members 😢
And when he was feeling down...
He apparently heard the devil 👿 whispering, "You're not qualified to be a dedicated pastor!"

But with this word, he completed his pastoral duties until retirement!

...If God has clearly saved you...
...If your proof of being a Christian comes from God...
Even if fears and worries arise, everything will be alright!
...Trust in God's word.
...The covenant God made with Israel is eternal and unchangeable.

…And…in a spiritual sense, if we are descendants of Abraham through faith…
Jesus's election, salvation, hope, and mission are alright even if you have forgotten them.

You have not been excluded from God's love.

Believing this…and returning to God is…faith.

May this morning's worship be filled with joy and gratitude 🙏

Shalom 😄
