Not Rejected, Just a New Itinerary

Romans 11:1-6

There is no question that I feel rejected within this present system. It’s not God’s rejection of me, I’ve already received Salvation by His grace through Jesus Christ. But I am confined to my apartment with absolutely no social life as my medical appointments are the only activity that shows any sign of life. But I do have life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ as is evident in my constant writings inspired from the Bible. Some say that my “lack of having a life” is my own fault for being “too good” to join everyone else. How often I’ve heard, “Won’t you join us.” The ultimatum is always the same, live by the mark of the beast and then you will have a life. Instead, I choose Jesus Christ and anticipate the day when I enter into the fellowship of the family of God.

The system of the internal government has rejected me, but God hasn’t. The society of those who live by the mark of the beast are killing those who choose Jesus Christ, have torn down the churches, and there are just a few that remain faithful to Jesus Christ. If I joined the “humanitarian” work being done by those living for the mark of the beast, then I would no longer be living by the Grace of God that gives Salvation through Christ.

Paul explains that God did not reject the Jews. He himself is an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin. Paul is a Christian Jew and is implying that the grace of God makes him righteous through Jesus Christ. God is not rejecting the Israelites, there has been a new itinerary. Now, God’s acceptance comes through Jesus Christ not the law of the Old Testament. The Israelites never found righteousness through the law and were involved in killing prophets and tearing down the altars of atonement. God chose to save a remnant who did not bow to Baal. God chooses those who serve Him through Jesus Christ. Salvation isn’t by the works of the law, if it were, then grace would no longer be grace.

“I ask then: Did God reject His people? By no means! 
I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 
God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. 
Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—
how he appealed to God against Israel: 
“Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars;
I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? 
And what was God’s answer to him?
“I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 
And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.”
Romans 11:1-6

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
