Deuteronomy 7:6-11
Excerpted from: Jesus in the Feasts (Part One): Unleavened BreadSo what was God's motivation for doing all these things for the Israelites? It was His love for them. He loved them and wanted to bring them into the Promised Land, give them everything that He had promised—and that is a big thing. He wanted to show them that He keeps His promises. Or we could put it another way: He sticks to His plans. Or to put it another way, as we saw here in verse 9, He is a faithful God. You can trust Him. He does what He says He will do.
So the plan, notice this, this is very important, the plan was to build a nation of those who resembled Abraham. And He decided to do this in two steps. First, He called Abraham's physical descendants and made them a nation, Israel, and gave them to us as a type and an example. Part Two of the plan is that He called Abraham's spiritual descendants, those who have the faith of Abraham, or who would have the faith of Abraham. We call those people the elect, the members of God's church, the bride of Christ.
Deuteronomy 7:6-8
Excerpted from: John 3:16 in ContextThis is the reason for all of this that Jesus has been saying. This is the reason that He was sent here. And this statement must have blown Nicodemus' mind. This is like the third or fourth time Nicodemus was probably, "What?!" He and his fellows thought God loved only Israel. Did God not say so in Deuteronomy 7:6-8? No, He said He loved Israel, but He did not say that He loved only Israel. He does say that they are set apart as holy to Him and they are a special treasure to Him, and He does say elsewhere that He made only Israel His people. But He never says that only Israel has His affection, has His love.
Deuteronomy 7:2-8
Excerpted from: The Bride of Christ (Part One)They had promised, a physical nation, a type for us, to be His holy and righteous people.
