Eternal Nationality
Dear Brother,I got your Midnight Call and I just had to write and thank you. I’m so thankful to you for your good reading. I’ve always found that I’d like to be a Jew, but the Bible tells me that strangers can join the Jews when we get to heaven; no nationality there. I’ve always loved to read all about Jerusalem and want to be there soon. I’m 95 but God is so good to me. -M. Patton, FL
Arno's Answer:
Your letter reminds me of Ephesians 2:19, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.” Indeed, there will be no strangers in the presence of the Lord. The Apostle Peter defines the church as “a holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9). He speaks of the Gentiles, the foreigners, “Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God” (verse 10).
