Who is True Israel? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387181308)

God created all people. Within the total of humanity God has a group of people that He considers His own, His chosen people. These chosen few were given a name that defines who they are, and what makes them separate from all other people. That name of course is 'Israel'. "Israel" means 'one who struggles with God'. It's one who wrestles with God's Divine authority, i.e., His commands, laws and promises. And after the internal struggle is over, they surrender their own wills to submit to YHVH's Divine will. The problem is, we are all born with a selfish nature, that is, we are by nature self-centered, self-absorbed and we elevate self to top priority in our lives and we desire to be self-ruled and put self first- we don't want anyone telling us what to do. We by nature don't want to submit to anyone else's authority. However, YHVH God calls on us to humble ourselves and submit to His Divine authority. And our internal struggle must happen in order to do that, we must crucify 'self', i.e., self-love, selfishness, self-centeredness, etc. And that is what Jesus called us to do, in order to be one of God's chosen people; Matthew 16:24, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." And Luke adds the word 'Daily'. And when we are able to do that we are true children of Abraham and partake in a covenant relationship with YHVH God, by fulfilling the stipulations of the Covenant, becoming Israel and receiving the promise of eternal life. In this book I will examine the Scriptures to see what it alone says about who is the true Israel. I will draw on many of scriptures from the New and Old Testaments which tell us how we can be true Israel. By the time you are done with this book, the answer you are seeking will be obvious.
