The gospel is a continuing call for us to know and rely on the love God has for us - 1 Jn 4:16.

The Gospel calls everyone, Jew or Gentile, to God through Jesus Christ. Inherent in the idea of a call is a response, an answer. If you never hear a call, you simply will not answer.

God had given Israel such spiritual privilege: adoption as sons, the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship, the promises, the patriarchs, even the physical lineage of Christ, and yet they rejected the opportunity all of these things gave them for faith. They chose to trust in themselves over trusting in the God, who calls (Rom 9-10).

The gospel message of Jesus Christ is powerful to save us (Rom 1:16-17), and it is powerful to grow and bear fruit within us (Col 1:5-6, 27). So, we should give careful attention to how we listen (Luke 8:4-18).

God's purpose through the gospel is to bring His love, not just into the hearts of His children but ever so practically into their lives! Rom 1:16-17; 5:5; 1 Cor 13:1-8

Born of God's promise, we find His purpose in that promise. Born of the gospel, we find God's purpose in that same Gospel.

Abraham's descendants were covenant related children of God, as a result of His promise to Abraham. Even under the Law of Moses all that Israel had with God were a result of His promise to Abraham. We are born of God, today, through Christ Jesus, who is God's covenant with us (Rom 9:1-18).

Our victory is in the One who is our covenant with God, Christ Jesus our Lord. Uniting us with Him and His death we have a new life to live in Christ. God has done for us in our union with Him what we cannot do on our own (Rom 6:3-5; Gal 2:20-21).

What God has given us in Christ Jesus defeats the worst we can face in this world. Rom 8:31-39

God's former covenant with Israel was the 10 Commandments/the Law of Moses it was based on the Leviticsal priesthood (Heb 7:11). Jesus is now our covenant. His blood and His priesthood are the basis of our covenant with God (Isa 42:6; 49:8; Luke 22:20; 2 Cor 3:6; Jer 31:31; Heb 8:8).
