 And I don't know if you've ever thought about this before. I hope you have. Israel is the church's greatest insurance policy. If God is faithful to them, then we can know that God will be faithful to us. It's the proof of that. If God's not faithful to them, to keep his word to them and his promises to them, we have no reason to believe God will keep his promises to us. God is a covenant-keeping, promise-keeping God.
