What is the cause of weak and wavering faith in Christians?

Israel encountered challenges when they deviated from the laws of Moses, similar to how current issues stem from straying from Paul's teachings. Paul was entrusted with the "dispensation of the Grace of God" for today's believers. The primary cause of a weak and wavering faith is not a departure from the entire Word of God, but rather a shift away from the specific doctrines taught by Paul.

Do believers truly backslide and "lose fellowship with God?" Is it necessary to "strive to maintain our relationship with God?"

Many Christians believe they must perform certain actions to have a relationship with God. Conversely, they fear that God will distance Himself or judge them if they fail to maintain their relationship with Him. These mindsets are common among many Christians who are not informed about the truth in God's word.

How does one understand the salvation and destiny of Jews living today?

How does one understand the salvation and destiny of Jews living today?

QUESTION:

Are Jews who are living today under the Torah part of the Kingdom program to inherit the earth? What about Messianic Jews who are saved by the grace gospel? How does one understand their salvation and destiny?

ANSWER:

In order to answer these questions, we must first understand two very important things:

Number 1

Israel is blinded today, Rom 11:25, and they are not the special people of God (as in the Old Testament and in the Gospels when Jesus was on earth). When God blinded them, He actually disowned them. We find this in Hosea's prophecy,

Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

Loammi was one of Hosea's children born from a prostitute according to God's will. Loammi represented Israel according to this prophecy. God was using this scenario to show Hosea that He would later abandon Israel due to their unbelief. So, since Acts 7, after Israel killed Stephan, God strated to lift His hand off them and abandon them. Paul's ministry towards the Gentiles was further proof of this blinding. keep this in mind as we progress through this reply.

Do you really understand what it means to 'walk in the Spirit'? Is the concept of walking in the Spirit clear and meaningful, or is it vague and elusive? I'd like to write this short article to either confirm or clarify this topic for you. I trust it will bless you.

One can draw from many of Paul's passages to learn about spiritual living, but Romans.14 is one of my favourites, and the chapter that really opened my eyes to what it means to walk in the Spirit. Let's look at some focused verses [with my own added commentary] from this chapter to bring you to a simple, yet clear understanding.
