As Christians, we should be sharing biblical truth about Israel and the Messiah to all people, especially the Jewish people, who are God&#8217;s chosen people.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>In the New Testament, Paul writes:<\/p>\r\n<p><span id=\"18\" class=\"versehover\">Romans 1:16: &#8220;<\/span>For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Although the Gospel is intended to reach all people. Chronologically, its\u00a0message was revealed to the Jewish people first before being revealed to the Gentiles, the non-Jewish people.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Here is the Isaiah Trail you can share with your Jewish friends and acquaintances:<\/p>\r\n<h3>The Isaiah Trail<\/h3>\r\n<p>1. GOD LOVES MAN AND DESIRES THAT ALL MEN SHOULD EXPERIENCE A LIFE FILLED WITH HIS BLESSINGS.<\/p>\r\n<p>Psalm 16:11: &#8220;Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0fulness of joy; at thy right hand\u00a0<em>there are<\/em>\u00a0pleasures for evermore..&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 41:10: &#8220;Fear thou not; for I\u00a0<em>am<\/em>\u00a0with thee: be not dismayed; for I\u00a0<em>am<\/em> thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>2. MAN IS SEPARATED FROM GOD BY SIN: HE IS A SINNER BY NATURE AND BY WILL.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jeremiah 17:9: &#8220;<span id=\"11\" class=\"versehover\">9<\/span>The heart\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0deceitful above all\u00a0<em>things<\/em>, and desperately wicked: who can know it?&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 64:6: &#8220;But we are all as an unclean\u00a0<em>thing<\/em>, and all our righteousnesses\u00a0<em>are<\/em> as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>3. THE RESULT OF SIN AND SEPARATION FROM GOD IS SPIRITUAL DEATH.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jeremiah 31:30: &#8220;But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 59:2: &#8220;But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid <em>his<\/em> face from you, that he will not hear.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>4. GOD HAS PROVIDED A WAY BY WHICH RECONCILIATION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 43:11: &#8220;I,\u00a0<em>even<\/em>\u00a0I,\u00a0<em>am<\/em>\u00a0the LORD; and beside me\u00a0<em>there is<\/em> no saviour.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 1:18: &#8220;Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Leviticus 17:11: &#8220;For the life of the flesh <em>is<\/em>\u00a0in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0the blood\u00a0<em>that<\/em> maketh an atonement for the soul.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Isaiah 53:4: &#8220;Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p><span id=\"7\" class=\"versehover\">Isaiah 53:5: &#8220;<\/span>But he\u00a0<em>was<\/em>\u00a0wounded for our transgressions,\u00a0<em>he was<\/em>\u00a0bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace\u00a0<em>was<\/em> upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>==&gt; And read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/the-power-of-forgiveness\/\">The Power of Forgiveness<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>==&gt; Also read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/the-resolute-christian\/\">The Resolute Christian<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Isaiah Trail to Salvation&#8221; is the Old Testament counterpart of the New Testament Roman Road that leads Jews and non-Jews to salvation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14079,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[545,542,59,539,541,381,544,540,271,543],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
