Isaiah 48:1-2

Israel Refined for God’s Glory

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob,
cwho are called by the name of Israel,
and dwho came from the waters of Judah,
ewho swear by the name of the Lord
and confess the God of Israel,
but not in truth or right.
2For they call themselves after the holy city,
fand stay themselves on the God of Israel;
the Lord of hosts is his name.

Matthew 3:9

9And do not presume to say to yourselves, g‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from hthese stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Matthew 8:11-12

11I tell you, imany will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 jwhile the sons of the kingdom kwill be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place lthere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

John 8:33

33They answered him, m“We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”

Romans 2:28-29

28For nno one is a Jew owho is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29But a Jew is one pinwardly, and qcircumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. rHis praise is not from man but from God.

Romans 9:4-7

4They are sIsraelites, and to them belong tthe adoption, uthe glory, vthe covenants, wthe giving of the law, xthe worship, and ythe promises. 5To them belong zthe patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, aawho is God over all, abblessed forever. Amen.

6But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7and not all are children of Abraham acbecause they are his offspring, but adThrough Isaac shall your offspring be named.”
