| Isa. 65:1 |
"I was sought by those who did not
ask
for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek
Me.
I said, 'Here I am,
here I am,'
To a nation that was not called by My
name." |
| Mark 7:26-30 |
"The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician
by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. But
Jesus said to her, 'Let the children be filled first, for it is not good
to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.' And she
answered and said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table
eat from the children's crumbs.' Then He said to her, 'For this saying go
your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.' And when she had
come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the
bed." |
| Acts 17:26-28 |
"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to
dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times
and the boundaries of their habitation, so that they should seek the Lord, in
the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from
each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of
your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' "

| Rom. 8:14-17 |
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again
to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba,
*Father.' (Lit. in Aram., Father) The Spirit Himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs - heirs of
God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also
be glorified together." |
| Rom. 8:29-30 |
"For whom He forknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, These He also glorified." |
| Rom. 11:13-15 |
"For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as
I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may
provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their aceptance be but life from the dead. " |
| Rom. 11:22-24 |
"Therefore consider the goodness and
severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you
continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if
they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft
them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by
nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much
more will these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive
tree?" |
| Gal. 4:4-7 |
"But when the fullness of the time had
come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem
those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And
because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your
hearts, crying out, 'Abba, *Father! (Aram., Father) Therefore you are no
longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."
|
| Eph. 1:3-6 |
"Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having
predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the
good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He
has *made us accepted (Lit. bestowed grace (favor) upon us) in the
Beloved."
(See Jesus - Put Away Our
Sins)

Eph. 7, 11-14 |
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace...in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."
 Note:
Christians of all nationalities should give thanks to God for the Jews. Had
they understood the time of their visitation (Luke 19:41-44) none of us would have been able to
come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
