Has God Cast Away His People And Replaced Them With The Church?

I heard a funny story about a pastor of a small church out in the country. As he was visiting all the people in his parish, he knocked at a certain house and got no answer. So on his card he wrote, “Revelation 3:20” (which is, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in”) and left it on the door handle. The next Sunday, a card was found in the offering plate with the words “Genesis 3:10” (“I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself”).

Some people want to spiritualize everything. But Scripture is simple and straightforward—there’s no need to spiritualize it.

God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham and his descendants to give them the land of Israel. And even if they sinned, He would always bring them back. God is faithful to keep His promises. In fact, the Bible is a record of promises God has made and kept. This is where I’m going: the apostle Paul asked the question in Romans 11:1, “Has God cast away His people?” Then he answered it: “Certainly not!”
