FIRST AND FOREMOST WE, THE CHURCH, PRAY FOR ISRAEL (we know all Israel shall be saved) because God commands people, all people, to love Him, love yourself and love your neighbor…

And that, exactly, where the problem of the world lies. We have not:

• loved the Lord our God with all our hearts and with all our souls and with all our minds
• loved ourselves
• nor our neighbor ourselves

Matthew 22:35-40
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Selah.

We have all fallen short and sinned. Not made a mistake. Sinned. Sin: a deliberate choice. And it started with Adam.

Selah.

BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AND THROUGH FAITH IN HIM, the only true and everlasting God Almighty, we Christians strive to love as He hath commanded us:

Matthew 22:35-40
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Godly sorrow is supposed to bring repentance.

2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

Those who strive to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, love yourself and love your neighbor as yourself are thankful for correction and the answers of application.

Christians pray for Israel because God told us so. Christians pray for Israel because we love them. We pray for them because it is always extravagant love we have for each other. Israel and the Church are one family. To Hell with satan and his lies. And as far as people who don’t embrace this truth while claiming to be a child of God: they are liars. Simply said.

Selah.

Israel, you will not fall and the Church will not fail you.
