7Hi, and welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.71\00:00:19.06
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for coming apart to read
00:00:19.09\00:00:22.42
God's word with me today. Before
we start, Let's pray together.
00:00:22.45\00:00:25.41
Dear God, thank you
so much for loving us
00:00:25.44\00:00:29.72
and for putting in our
hearts a desire to know you more
00:00:29.75\00:00:33.56
and today as we read,
especially of your love for us,
00:00:33.59\00:00:37.38
come close and make it real so
that we not only hear the words
00:00:37.41\00:00:42.94
but we know them for sure in
our hearts and we build on them
00:00:42.97\00:00:46.89
like a solid rock and
become better servants to you
00:00:46.92\00:00:51.15
and to each other.
We love you so much.
00:00:51.18\00:00:54.89
Again, I'm reading
today from the book of Romans,
00:00:54.92\00:00:57.75
in the King James version.
We're starting in chapter eight,
00:00:57.78\00:01:01.47
with verse 35, one of the most
beautiful passages in the Bible.
00:01:01.50\00:01:04.96
I think. - Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ,
00:01:05.08\00:01:08.33
shall tribulation, or distress,
00:01:08.39\00:01:10.85
or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril
00:01:10.88\00:01:15.31
or sword? As it is written,
For thy sake we are killed
00:01:15.38\00:01:20.41
all the day long. We are
accounted as sheep for the
00:01:20.44\00:01:23.77
slaughter. Nay in all
these things we are more than
00:01:23.80\00:01:28.28
conquerors through him that
loved us. For I am persuaded,
00:01:28.31\00:01:32.27
that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
00:01:32.30\00:01:36.54
nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor height,
00:01:36.57\00:01:42.87
nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able
00:01:42.90\00:01:47.09
to separate us from the love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus
00:01:47.12\00:01:51.04
our Lord. - continuing
in Romans chapter nine.
00:01:51.07\00:01:55.38
And I am reading from
the King James version. -
00:01:55.41\00:01:57.92
I say the truth in Christ, I lie
not, my conscience also bearing
00:01:57.95\00:02:04.42
witness in the Holy Ghost,
that I have great heaviness
00:02:04.45\00:02:08.46
and continual sorrow in my
heart. For I could wish that
00:02:08.49\00:02:13.05
myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my kinsmen
00:02:13.08\00:02:17.17
according to the flesh: Who are
Israelites; to whom pertaineth
00:02:17.20\00:02:20.85
the adoption, and the
glory, and the covenants,
00:02:20.88\00:02:23.12
and the giving of the
law, and the service of God,
00:02:23.15\00:02:25.77
and the promises; Whose
are the fathers, and of whom
00:02:25.80\00:02:30.23
as concerning the flesh
Christ came, who is over all,
00:02:30.26\00:02:33.92
God blessed for ever. Amen.
Not as though the word of God
00:02:33.95\00:02:38.62
hath taken none effect.
For they are not all Israel,
00:02:38.65\00:02:42.52
which are of Israel: Neither,
because they are the seed of
00:02:42.55\00:02:46.29
Abraham, are they all children:
but, in Isaac shall thy seed
00:02:46.32\00:02:51.22
be called. That is, They which
are the children of the flesh,
00:02:51.25\00:02:55.06
these are not the children
of God: but the children of the
00:02:55.09\00:02:58.92
promise are
counted for the seed.
00:02:58.95\00:03:01.04
For this is the word of promise,
At this time will I come,
00:03:01.07\00:03:05.97
and Sarah shall have a
son. And not only this;
00:03:06.00\00:03:09.36
but when Rebecca
also had conceived by one,
00:03:09.39\00:03:12.71
even by our father Isaac; - For
the children being not yet born,
00:03:12.74\00:03:16.90
neither having done any good
or evil, that the purpose of God
00:03:16.93\00:03:21.01
according to election
might stand, not of works,
00:03:21.04\00:03:24.90
but of him that
calleth. - It was said unto her,
00:03:24.93\00:03:28.76
The elder shall serve the
younger. As it is written,
00:03:28.79\00:03:33.39
Jacob have I loved,
but Esau have I hated.
00:03:33.42\00:03:36.78
What shall we say then? Is
there unrighteousness with God?
00:03:36.81\00:03:41.70
God forbid. For he saith
to Moses, I will have mercy
00:03:41.73\00:03:45.90
on whom I will have mercy. and
I will have compassion on whom
00:03:45.93\00:03:51.27
I will have compassion. So then
it is not of him that willeth,
00:03:51.30\00:03:56.31
nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy.
00:03:56.34\00:04:01.06
For the scripture saith
unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
00:04:01.09\00:04:05.62
purpose have I raised thee
up, that I might shew my power
00:04:05.65\00:04:09.67
in thee, and that my name might
be declared throughout all the
00:04:09.70\00:04:12.87
earth. Therefore hath he
mercy whom he will have mercy,
00:04:12.90\00:04:17.44
and whom he will he hardeneth.
Thou wilt say then unto me,
00:04:17.47\00:04:22.98
Why doth he yet find fault?
For who hath resisted his will?
00:04:23.01\00:04:27.11
Nay but, O man, who art
thou that repliest against God?
00:04:27.14\00:04:32.67
Shall the thing formed
say to him that formed it,
00:04:32.70\00:04:37.43
Why hast thou made me
thus? Hath not the potter power
00:04:37.46\00:04:42.33
over the clay, of the same lump
to make one vessel unto honor,
00:04:42.36\00:04:46.71
and another unto dishonor?
What if God, willing to shew
00:04:46.74\00:04:52.54
his wrath, and to make his
power known, endured with much
00:04:52.57\00:04:57.21
longsuffering the vessels
of wrath fitted to destruction:
00:04:57.24\00:05:01.16
And that he might make
known the riches of his glory
00:05:01.19\00:05:05.21
on the vessels of mercy, whom
he had afore prepared unto glory
00:05:05.24\00:05:09.83
Even us, whom he hath
called, not of the Jews only,
00:05:09.86\00:05:14.06
but also of the Gentiles?
As he saith also in Osee,
00:05:14.09\00:05:19.72
I will call them my people,
which were not my people;
00:05:19.75\00:05:23.30
and her beloved,
which was not beloved.
00:05:23.33\00:05:25.36
which was not my beloved.
And it shall come to pass,
00:05:25.39\00:05:29.28
that in the place where it was
said unto them, Ye are not my
00:05:29.31\00:05:32.78
people; there shall
they be called the children
00:05:32.81\00:05:36.36
of the living God. Esaias
also crieth concerning Israel,
00:05:36.39\00:05:41.73
Though the number of the
children of Israel be as the
00:05:41.76\00:05:44.65
sand of the sea, a
remnant shall be saved:
00:05:44.68\00:05:48.03
for he will finish the work, and
cut it short in righteousness:
00:05:48.06\00:05:52.63
because a short work will
the Lord make upon the earth.
00:05:52.66\00:05:56.36
And as Esaias said before,
Except the Lord of Sabboth
00:05:56.39\00:06:01.52
had left us a seed, we had been
as Sodom, and been made like
00:06:01.55\00:06:06.59
unto Gomorrah. What shall
we say then? That the Gentiles,
00:06:06.62\00:06:11.24
which followed not after
righteousness, have attained
00:06:11.27\00:06:14.23
to righteousness, even the
righteousness which is of faith.
00:06:14.26\00:06:16.84
But Israel, which followed
after the law of righteousness,
00:06:16.87\00:06:21.82
hath not attained to the
law of righteousness. Wherefore?
00:06:21.85\00:06:26.27
Because they sought it
not by faith, but as it were
00:06:26.30\00:06:31.53
by the works of the
law. For they stumbled
00:06:31.56\00:06:34.98
at that stumbling stone; As it
is written, Behold I lay in Zion
00:06:35.01\00:06:40.52
a stumbling stone and
rock of offence: and whosoever
00:06:40.55\00:06:44.10
believeth on him
shall not be ashamed.
00:06:44.13\00:06:47.19
We're reading from
the King James Version,
00:06:47.22\00:06:49.89
in the Book of
Romans, chapter 10.
00:06:49.92\00:06:52.47
Brethren, my hearts desire and
prayer to God for Israel is that
00:06:52.50\00:06:58.99
they might be saved.
For I bear them record
00:06:59.03\00:07:01.95
that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge.
00:07:01.99\00:07:05.85
For they being ignorant of God's
righteousness, and going about
00:07:05.88\00:07:11.10
to establish
their own righteousness,
00:07:11.13\00:07:13.19
have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God.
00:07:13.22\00:07:17.31
For Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness
00:07:17.34\00:07:21.35
to everyone that
believeth. For Moses describeth
00:07:21.38\00:07:25.88
the righteousness which is
of the law, That the man which
00:07:25.92\00:07:29.67
doeth those things
shall live by them.
00:07:29.70\00:07:31.61
But the righteousness which is
of faith speaketh on this wise,
00:07:31.64\00:07:36.67
Say not in thine heart,
Who shall ascend into heaven?
00:07:36.70\00:07:40.57
- that is to bring
Christ down from above: -
00:07:40.60\00:07:43.24
Or, Who shall
descend into the deep?
00:07:43.58\00:07:47.33
- that is to bring up
Christ again from the dead. -
00:07:47.36\00:07:50.12
But what saith it? The word
is nigh thee, even in thy mouth,
00:07:50.15\00:07:55.81
and in thy heart: that is, the
word of faith, which we preach;
00:07:55.84\00:08:00.68
That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
00:08:00.71\00:08:04.90
and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him
00:08:04.93\00:08:08.10
from the dead, thou shalt
be saved. For with the heart
00:08:08.13\00:08:12.08
man believeth unto righteousness
and with the mouth confession
00:08:12.11\00:08:16.71
is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith,
00:08:16.74\00:08:20.25
Whosoever believeth on
him shall not be ashamed.
00:08:20.28\00:08:23.23
For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek:
00:08:23.26\00:08:26.57
for the same Lord over
all is rich unto all that call
00:08:26.60\00:08:31.46
upon him. For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord
00:08:31.49\00:08:34.96
shall be saved. How
then shall they call on him
00:08:34.99\00:08:39.68
in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in
00:08:39.71\00:08:43.27
him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear
00:08:43.30\00:08:46.50
without a preacher?
And how shall they preach
00:08:46.53\00:08:49.49
except they be
sent? as it is written,
00:08:49.52\00:08:53.33
How beautiful are the feet
of them that preach the gospel
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.58
of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things!
00:08:56.61\00:08:59.78
But they have not all obeyed
the gospel. For Esaias saith,
00:08:59.81\00:09:04.86
Lord, who hath
believed our report?
00:09:04.89\00:09:06.68
So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
00:09:06.71\00:09:13.32
But I say, Have they not
heard? Yes verily, their sound
00:09:13.35\00:09:19.42
went into all the earth,
and their words unto the ends of
00:09:19.45\00:09:21.80
the world. But I say, Did not
Israel know? First Moses saith,
00:09:21.83\00:09:28.19
I will provoke you to jealousy
by them that are no people,
00:09:28.22\00:09:31.57
and by a foolish
nation I will anger you.
00:09:31.60\00:09:34.09
But Esaias is very bold,
and saith, I was found of them
00:09:34.12\00:09:40.13
that sought me not; I
was made manifest unto them
00:09:40.16\00:09:43.83
that asked not after
me. But to Israel he saith,
00:09:43.86\00:09:48.14
All day long I have
stretched forth my hands
00:09:48.17\00:09:51.87
unto a disobedient
and gainsaying people.
00:09:51.90\00:09:56.06
Continuing on in the
book of Romans, chapter 11.
00:09:56.09\00:09:59.90
I say then, Hath God cast
away his people? God forbid.
00:09:59.93\00:10:05.81
For I also am and Israelite,
of the seed of Abraham,
00:10:05.84\00:10:09.46
of the tribe of Benjamin. God
hath not cast away his people
00:10:09.49\00:10:12.35
which he foreknew. Wot ye
not what the scripture saith of
00:10:12.38\00:10:16.42
Elias? how he
maketh intercession to God
00:10:16.45\00:10:19.31
against Israel, saying, Lord,
they have killed thy prophets
00:10:19.34\00:10:22.64
and digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone,
00:10:22.67\00:10:25.53
and they seek my life. But
what saith the answer of God
00:10:25.56\00:10:28.55
unto him? I have reserved
to myself seven thousand men,
00:10:28.63\00:10:34.15
who have not bowed the
knee to the image of Baal.
00:10:34.18\00:10:37.31
Even so then at this present
time also there is a remnant
00:10:37.34\00:10:41.95
according to the election
of grace. And if by grace,
00:10:41.98\00:10:46.13
then it is no more of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace
00:10:46.16\00:10:50.04
but if it be of works,
then is it no more grace:
00:10:50.07\00:10:54.25
otherwise work is no
more work. What then?
00:10:54.28\00:10:57.92
Israel hath not obtained
that which he seeketh for;
00:10:57.95\00:11:01.68
but the election hath obtained
it, and the rest were blinded.
00:11:01.71\00:11:06.25
- According as it is
written, God hath given them
00:11:06.28\00:11:09.67
the spirit of slumber, eyes that
they should not see, and ears
00:11:09.70\00:11:15.03
that they should not
hear; - unto this day.
00:11:15.06\00:11:18.08
And David saith, Let their table
be made a snare, and a trap,
00:11:18.11\00:11:22.08
and a stumbling block,
and a recompense unto them:
00:11:22.11\00:11:24.47
Let their eyes be
darkened that they may not see,
00:11:24.50\00:11:27.81
and bow down their back alway.
I say then, Have they stumbled
00:11:27.84\00:11:33.26
that they should
fall? God forbid:
00:11:33.29\00:11:35.87
But rather through
their fall salvation is come
00:11:35.90\00:11:39.72
unto the Gentiles, for
to provoke them to jealousy.
00:11:39.75\00:11:43.06
Now if the fall of them
be the riches of the world,
00:11:43.09\00:11:47.15
and the diminishing of
them the riches of the Gentiles;
00:11:47.18\00:11:49.75
how much more their fullness?
For I speak to you Gentiles,
00:11:49.78\00:11:54.85
inasmuch as I am the
apostle of the Gentiles,
00:11:54.88\00:11:57.64
I magnify mine office: If by any
means I may provoke to emulation
00:11:57.67\00:12:03.90
them which are my flesh,
and and might save some of them.
00:12:03.93\00:12:07.41
For if the casting away of them
be the reconciling of the world,
00:12:07.44\00:12:11.54
what shall the receiving of
them be, but life from the dead?
00:12:11.57\00:12:15.46
For if the firstfruit be
holy, the lump is also holy:
00:12:15.49\00:12:18.04
the lump is also holy:
and if the root be holy,
00:12:18.07\00:12:22.50
so are the branches.
And if some of the branches
00:12:22.53\00:12:25.77
be broken off, and thou, being
a wild olive tree, wert grafted
00:12:25.80\00:12:30.59
in among them, and with
them partakest of the root
00:12:30.62\00:12:34.02
and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches.
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.29
But if thou boast, thou barest
not the root, but the root thee.
00:12:38.32\00:12:44.05
Thou wilt say then, The
branches were broken off,
00:12:44.08\00:12:47.67
that I might be grafted
in. Well; because of unbelief
00:12:47.70\00:12:52.98
they were broken off,
and thou standest by faith.
00:12:53.01\00:12:56.60
Be not high-minded, but
fear: for if God spared not
00:12:56.63\00:13:02.71
the natural branches, take heed
lest he also spare not thee.
00:13:02.74\00:13:08.01
Behold therefore the
goodness and severity of God:
00:13:08.04\00:13:13.05
on them which fell, severity;
but toward thee, goodness,
00:13:13.08\00:13:19.22
if thou
continue in his goodness:
00:13:19.25\00:13:23.07
otherwise thou also shalt
be cut off. And they also,
00:13:23.10\00:13:29.34
if they abide not still in
unbelief, shall be grafted in:
00:13:29.37\00:13:34.56
for God is able to
graft them in again
00:13:34.59\00:13:38.00
For if thou wert cut out of
the olive tree which is wild
00:13:38.03\00:13:42.11
by nature, and wert
grafted contrary to nature
00:13:42.14\00:13:45.08
into a good olive tree:
how much more shall these,
00:13:45.11\00:13:48.69
which be the natural branches,
be grafted into their own
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.99
olive tree? For I would
not, brethren, that ye should be
00:13:53.02\00:13:57.00
ignorant of this mystery, lest
ye should be wise in your own
00:13:57.03\00:14:00.80
conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel,
00:14:00.83\00:14:04.98
until the fullness of
the Gentiles be come in.
00:14:05.01\00:14:07.96
And so all Israel shall
be saved: as it is written,
00:14:07.99\00:14:13.32
There shall come out
of Zion the Deliverer,
00:14:13.35\00:14:16.28
and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
00:14:16.31\00:14:20.44
Thank you for coming apart with
me today to read these words of
00:14:20.47\00:14:25.37
life. Until we're together
again may the God of all hope
00:14:25.40\00:14:29.43
keep you in peace and faith,
believing our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:14:29.46\00:14:34.17
