1 Paul says: I tell the truth in Jesus. I do not lie. God's Holy Spirit says this too. ✝️️️ 2 Paul says: My heart hurts. I feel very sad all the time. 3 Paul says: I love my people so much. I would take the bad. I would be cut off from Jesus to help them. ❤️✝️ 4 They are Israel. God chose them long ago. God gave them His rules, His house, and His promises. ✨ 5 Their big fathers are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. From them came Jesus as a man. He is over all. Praise God! ✝️ 6 God’s word did not fail. Not all in Israel are truly God’s people. ✅ 7 Not all kids of Abraham are God’s kids. God said, “In Isaac your kids will be named.” ⭐ 8 Kids by body are not all God’s kids. Kids by God’s promise are His family. ✨ 9 God said, “I will come. Sarah will have a son.” ⏰ 10 Also Rebekah had babies with Isaac, the same dad. 11 Before the twins were born and did no good or bad, God chose. His call does not come from our work. ➡️ 12 God said, “The older will serve the younger.” ➡️ 13 It says: “I loved Jacob. I did not choose Esau the same.” 14 Is God not fair? No! God is fair. ❌⚖️✅ 15 God said to Moses, “I will be kind to who I want. I will show pity to who I want.” 16 So it is not from what we want or do. It is from God, who is kind. ♂️❌➡️God✅ 17 God said to Pharaoh: “I put you there to show My power. All will hear My name.” ⚡ 18 So God is kind to who He wants. He lets some hearts be hard. / 19 You may say: “Then why does God blame? Who can stop His plan?” ❓ 20 But who are you to talk back to God? A made thing cannot say, “Why did you make me so?” 21 A pot maker can shape clay. He can make one nice jar and one plain jar. 22 What if God waits with patience for bad jars ready to break, to show His power? ⏳ 23 And He wants to show His rich good to kind jars He made ready. 24 We are those He called, from Jews and from other people too. 25 God said by Hosea: “I will call not-My-people, My people. I will call not-loved, Loved.” ️➡️ 26 In the same place He said, “You are not My people,” there they will be called kids of the living God. ➡️ 27 Isaiah said about Israel: They are many like sand, but only a small group will be saved. ️➡️ 28 The Lord will finish His work fast and right on the earth. ⚡✅ 29 Isaiah said: If the Lord had not left us some people, we would be like Sodom and Gomorrah. ️ 30 What do we say? Other people did not try by rules. But they became right with God by trust. ➡️God 31 But Israel tried to be right by rules. They did not get there. ➡️ 32 Why? They did not trust. They tried by works. They tripped on the Stone. ♂️ 33 God says: “I put a Stone in Zion. People trip. But all who trust in Him will not be let down.” ✝️
