Romans 3:21-23

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of Godhas been made known, to which the Law and the

Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through

faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no

difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinnedand fall short of the glory of God,



15/18

Romans 10:11-13

11 As Scripture says, Anyone who believes in him willnever be put to shame. 12 For there is no difference

between Jew and Gentilethe same Lord is Lord of all

and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, Everyone

who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.



16/18

1 Corinthians 12:12-13

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all itsmany parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we

were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body

whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or freeand we were all

given the one Spirit to drink.



17/18

Colossians 1:19-20

19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell inhim, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things,

whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making

peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

so w w h at ?The gospel must be understood within the larger story of

God which contains the story of Israel. As Jesus completesthe story of Israel Jesus story redefines who the people ofGod are and expands the group who will experience therestoration initially promised to Israel.

1. Start thinking about the gospel as good news directlyrelated to Israels story.

2. Get to learn Israels story better. We will be teaching

more details on it sometime this year . . . plan to be

there!

3. Appreciate the fact that Jesus redefines who the people

of God are and who will experience restoration.

Read Romans 11 and Romans 15:26-28 then

spend time thanking God that Gentiles are now

included.
