In many churches, people hear talk about God’s People. There are those who claim that these are no longer the Jews but the Christians. By this they mean those Christians who worship the Trinity. those Trinitarians then say that preaching is only for God’s people and that only the elect are saved.
The question here is who they see as chosen ones. The fact is that one can agree that only « elect » may acquire salvation and be blissful who will be allowed to reside in the Kingdom of God.
However much certain Christians may want it, one cannot exclude the Hebrew People from their role. The believing Jews belong to the People of God anyway – undeniably!
All people on earth are given the opportunity to know about God. They can see around them and find the wonders of the Lord. In more developed areas, people can also come into contact with the « written Word of God« . For example, one can say that many people can read the Bible. That Book of Books talks about a saviour who would come. That leader of trust is also said to be the Christ and the Bread of Life. That life-giving bread is at everyone’s disposal. It has been given to the whole world.
The question is who is hungry for it. Are those around us hungry? Are you hungry for what seems so elusive to many?
However, the sent of God is not as elusive or incomprehensible as many think. God is understanding and knows the needs of man. He wants to go into it, but he does want people to look for it.
God wants to satisfy you. He made His son pay the ransom for you and I, even all humanity. Christ Jesus was not haughty, but humbled himself and let sinners come to him. He received and ate with them.
Jesus Christ can be seen as the only mirror of election and the only ground of salvation. Our concern and need do not save us, but only faith in him. Jesus is the chosen one of God who was authorized to act as the ruler of the mentor and completer of faith.
True faith is a gift of grace from God. In this world there are many who call themselves Christians and claim that as believers they belong to that People of God. But when we speak to them and hear how they do not worship the God of Christ, but a deity they call the « Holy Trinity, » we realize that they have deviated far from the truth and still have a long way to go. to be counted with that People of God.
As a community of believers, or ecclesia, we can only act as servants and invite everyone to become a participant in the pilgrimage to the narrow gate of the Kingdom of God. By opening our doors to everyone who wants to hear, we will be able to help people hear and allow the Spirit to penetrate them. For it is God’s Spirit who determines everything. It is He who calls people to Himself and gives them insight. We as servants of God can only position ourselves in such a way that we give people direction to get to know both Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Father.
We must be ready for the hungry and thirsty. As brothers and sisters, we must welcome outsiders and make them as pleasant as possible without going against the Will of God. Brotherhood with Christ must always come first and that family, being a child of God, must persuade people to also want to become children of God.
Only when the conditions described in the Bible are met can one proceed as a child of God and become part of the blessed People of God.
