Meeting the Lord God Should Change Everything, Part Five

Genesis 28, Hebrews 12:4-17

Were Old Testament saints “born again”?
John 3:9, Ezekiel 36:23-26 OT saints were not born again in the same way as the NT saints.
Jeremiah 32:31-34 - describes the future aspect of the new birth

Malachi 1:1-5 - God loves Israel. Does that mean that all Israelites are saved?

Mark 12:24-27 - Jesus says He is the God of the living, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But they are not living anymore. Is God still their God?

Matthew 8:12 - Jesus says the children of the kingdom are cast out. The children of the kingdom are the Israelites, but they are cast out if they do not believe on Jesus’ death and resurrection to save them.

Acts 7:32-34 - God says, He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God says He is going to “deliver” them. “Deliver” is used to describe deliverance from a present-day difficult situation, as well as for the future deliverance of the church.
