In this important and timely episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin steps outside our series on favorite bible verses to tackle a topic that’s both theologically rich and culturally relevant: How should Christians think about Israel?
With Israel frequently in the headlines—from the October 7th Hamas attack to ongoing tensions with Iran—many believers are asking where the modern nation of Israel fits into God’s redemptive plan. Pastor Justin dives deep into Scripture to answer two key questions:
-
Who is the true Israel of God?
-
How should Christians respond to the current geopolitical nation of Israel?
Rooted in passages like Romans 9–11, Galatians 3, and Ephesians 2, this episode explores the biblical doctrine of election, the fulfillment of God's promises in Christ, and the unity of Jews and Gentiles in the family of God. You'll hear a clear call to gospel clarity, faithful evangelism, and prayer for the salvation of all people—Jews and Gentiles alike.
Whether you're new to this discussion or have long wrestled with these questions, this episode will challenge, equip, and encourage you to think biblically—not politically—about Israel.
