1. The Ten Commandments: Central to the Law were the Ten Commandments, which encapsulated the core principles of God’s moral law. These commandments addressed fundamental matters such as worshiping God alone, honoring parents, and refraining from murder, theft, and adultery. 2.
Amos 3:1-2. This encompasses God's relationship to Israel. It is the only nation in the history of mankind that God has had an intimate, close, personal relationship with. The relationship was so close that He portrays it as a marriage—one that was altered, broken by divorce, as Jeremiah 3 says.
God’s love and compassion for Israel is like that of a herdsman who cares for his heifer. The herdsman repositions the yoke’s strap under the ox’s jaw, enabling the animal to eat its food with ease.

The Scriptures are quite clear that among all the nations in the world, God chose Israel as the one He would work with. God said through the prophet Isaiah, “Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen” (Isaiah 44:1). This was the nation that God delivered out of slavery in Egypt, the nation to whom God gave the land of Canaan, ...
There are two basic reasons: 1. God was fulfilling a promise to Abraham. 2. God wanted Israel to serve as a model nation. So why did God choose Israel?

God blessed Abrah...
While God chose to work with the ancient nation of Israel, this decision did not exclude people of other nations (gentiles) from coming to understand God and serve Him. God instructed the ancient Israelites that they were to respect peoples of other nationalities who came to live among God’s chosen people. As for observing the Passover (one of God’...
When the Holy Spirit was granted to Jesus’ followers and the New Testament Church was established on the Day of Pentecost, the people in this beginning congregation were initially Jews (Acts 2:5), descendants of Judah, one of the 12 tribes that comprised ancient Israel. Because God had specifically chosen and worked with their ancestors and now was...

God first promised the Messiah after Adam and Eve’s fall into sin (Genesis chapter 3). God later confirmed that the Messiah would come from the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 12:1-3).
That is why their prophecies always came back to Israel’s promised, glorious future. Thus the prophets did more than share God’s messages with Israel – they also shared God’s heart for Israel. In a day and age when Israel is being increasingly more delegitimized in the press, in politics, and even behind some pulpits, God is looking for ...
