The Heart of God for Israel預覽

THE PERPETUAL FRESH LOVE OF A BRIDEGROOM TOWARD HIS BRIDE

There is a matchless excitement associated with getting engaged. Feelings of love fly high as the engagement draws near. Mutual admiration, passionate desire, and untainted joy fill the heart of the future bride and bridegroom. They experience a unique blend of freshness, innocence, and hope for the future. They are so focused on each other that the surroundings seem to vanish. The doors of blissful love are wide open in front of them.

God promised to betroth Israel when she was behaving like a prostitute. His jealous love ends up making everything new. His undeserved tenacious affection transforms the future of Israel. God does not condemn His Bride. He wants her for Him alone, free from all her other lovers. She is neither rejected nor disqualified. Israel is loved, and yes, loved forever!

God expresses His emotions towards Israel with the language of engagement. He is not bored or burdened. He is not keeping His covenant reluctantly because of a sense of duty. He is still passionate about His Bride. His conquering love passes over any heartbreaking disappointments. Israel is so precious to Him. He will not let her go. He will not let her be seduced by strangers. He will bring her into His world of righteousness, steadfast love, and mercy. Israel will be transformed and will know Him. Whatever the past, God opens a bright future for His beloved Israel.
