Summary
But we also have the creation in which Israel is created as a nation where He calls the people to be set apart as His own people, a chosen people, a separate people, in a holy people. Remember where we said that the covenant between Yahweh and the Israelites people, it was incumbent upon Yahweh upon the Lord to bear the burden of that covenant with His people. And again, after pouring out his wrath upon them, he gave them a new word, a word of promise, a word of assurance, a word of hope because he is the Holy One of Israel. The covenant that God made with the Israelite people, he bore the burden of that covenant to redeem, he bore the burden of Israel's unfatfulness, and God bears the burden of the covenant that He makes with you and with I. He indeed did create Israel and redeemed them and called them by name and claimed them as His own, but in the consuming love of God's for you, He has created you new in Jesus Christ. We have been made free, we have been redeemed in Jesus Christ, and we are called, not only as His own, we are called to go out and to share this good news that others may be called and claimed and named as Christ's own as well.
