Ephesians 2 Names of God Bible (NOG)

God Saved Us because of His Great Love for Us

2 You were once dead because of your failures and sins. ² You followed the ways of this present world and its spiritual ruler. This ruler continues to work in people who refuse to obey God. ³ All of us once lived among these people, and followed the desires of our corrupt nature. We did what our corrupt desires and thoughts wanted us to do. So, because of our nature, we deserved God’s anger just like everyone else.

⁴ But God is rich in mercy because of his great love for us. ⁵ We were dead because of our failures, but he made us alive together with Christ. (It is God’s kindness^[a] that saved you.) ⁶ God has brought us back to life together with Christ Yeshua and has given us a position in heaven with him. ⁷ He did this through Christ Yeshua out of his generosity to us in order to show his extremely rich kindness in the world to come. ⁸ God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. ⁹ It’s not the result of anything you’ve done, so no one can brag about it. ¹⁰ God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Yeshua to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do.

God Has United Jewish and Non-Jewish People

¹¹ Remember that once you were not Jewish physically. Those who called themselves “the circumcised” because of what they had done to their bodies called you “the uncircumcised.” ¹² Also, at that time you were without Christ. You were excluded from citizenship in Israel, and the pledges^[b] God made in his promise were foreign to you. You had no hope and were in the world without God.

¹³ But now through Christ Yeshua you, who were once far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ So he is our peace. In his body he has made Jewish and non-Jewish people one by breaking down the wall of hostility that kept them apart. ¹⁵ He brought an end to the commandments and demands found in Moses’ Teachings so that he could take Jewish and non-Jewish people and create one new humanity in himself. So he made peace. ¹⁶ He also brought them back to God in one body by his cross, on which he killed the hostility. ¹⁷ He came with the Good News of peace for you who were far away and for those who were near. ¹⁸ So Jewish and non-Jewish people can go to the Father in one Spirit.

¹⁹ That is why you are no longer foreigners and outsiders but citizens together with God’s people and members of God’s family. ²⁰ You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Yeshua himself is the cornerstone. ²¹ In him all the parts of the building fit together and grow into a holy temple in the Lord. ²² Through him you, also, are being built in the Spirit together with others into a place where God lives.

 

Note that:

ALL CHRISTIANS ARE MESSIANIC JEWS through the  BLOOD OF YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH!!! That’s our original name before 313AD and from YAHUSHUA’S time on earth. 

YAH is restoring all things (bringing Ephraim and Menassah back together to be ONE IN YAH, The Northern & Southern Kingdoms back together to be ONE IN YAH – Isaiah 43:18-19; Daniel 12:9) who are also THE BRIDE & GUESTS OF YAHUSHUA / SHEEP & LAMBS OF YAHUSHUA; SPIRITUAL ARMY OF YAHUSHUA, LIVING STONES!

Romans 11 says that we that were called Gentiles before YAHUSHUA came to earth, were GRAFTED INTO YAHUSHUA, THE CULTIVATED OLIVE TREE and VINE. ABBA YAHUVEH / YAHWEH GOD is the GARDENER / VINE-DRESSER!!! We are the BRANCHES (John 15).

Once we accept YAHUSHUA as our Messiah, we are SPIRITUAL JEWS (no longer Gentiles) and ought to live like YAHUSHUA did (TORAH KEEPER as well as relying on RUACH HA KODESH to get through this earthly journey / wilderness).

It is time to dig deeper into THE HEBREW ROOTS OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH. If it wasn’t for all the evil changes that Constantine made in 313 AD, we as believers in and Followers of YAHUSHUS would still be called MESSIANIC/MESSIYAHNIC JEWS (and not Christians as we are known today)!!!

We are also SPIRITUAL ISRAELITES (travelling from Spiritual Egypt to Spiritual Promised Land called Heaven). We should therefore be concerned about what goes on daily, weekly, yearly in THE HOLY LAND / YISRAEL / YISRAYAH!!!

Romans 11 Names of God Bible (NOG)

God’s Continuing Love for Jewish People

11 So I ask, “Has God rejected his people Israel?” That’s unthinkable! Consider this. I’m an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham from the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not rejected his people whom he knew long ago. Don’t you know what Elijah says in the Scripture passage when he complains to God about Israel? He says, ³ “Lord, they’ve killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I’m the only one left, and they’re trying to take my life.” ⁴ But what was God’s reply? God said, “I’ve kept 7,000 people for myself who have not knelt to worship Baal.” ⁵ So, as there were then, there are now a few left that God has chosen by his kindness.^[a] 6 If they were chosen by God’s kindness, they weren’t chosen because of anything they did. Otherwise, God’s kindness wouldn’t be kindness.

⁷ So what does all this mean? It means that Israel has never achieved what it has been striving for. However, those whom God has chosen have achieved it. The minds of the rest of Israel were closed, ⁸ as Scripture says,

“To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep.
    Their eyes don’t see,
        and their ears don’t hear!”

⁹ And David says,

“Let the table set for them become a trap and a net,
    a snare and a punishment for them.
¹⁰ Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see.
    Let them carry back-breaking burdens forever.”

¹¹ So I ask, “Has Israel stumbled so badly that it can’t get up again?” That’s unthinkable! By Israel’s failure, salvation has come to people who are not Jewish to make the Jewish people jealous. ¹² The fall of the Jewish people made the world spiritually rich. Their failure made people who are not Jewish spiritually rich. So the inclusion of Jewish people will make the world even richer.

¹³ Now, I speak to you who are not Jewish. As long as I am an apostle sent to people who are not Jewish, I bring honor to my ministry. ¹⁴ Perhaps I can make my people jealous and save some of them. ¹⁵ If Israel’s rejection means that the world has been brought back to God, what does Israel’s acceptance mean? It means that Israel has come back to life.

¹⁶ If the first handful of dough is holy, the whole batch of dough is holy. If the root is holy, the branches are holy. ¹⁷ But some of the olive branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in their place. You get your nourishment from the roots of the olive tree. ¹⁸ So don’t brag about being better than the other branches. If you brag, remember that you don’t support the root, the root supports you. ¹⁹ “Well,” you say, “Branches were cut off so that I could be grafted onto the tree.” ²⁰ That’s right! They were broken off because they didn’t believe, but you remain on the tree because you do believe. Don’t feel arrogant, but be afraid. ²¹ If God didn’t spare the natural branches, he won’t spare you, either. ²² Look at how kind and how severe God can be. He is severe to those who fell, but kind to you if you continue to hold on to his kindness. Otherwise, you, too, will be cut off from the tree.

²³ If Jewish people do not continue in their unbelief, they will be grafted onto the tree again, because God is able to do that. ²⁴ In spite of the fact that you have been cut from a wild olive tree, you have been grafted onto a cultivated one. So wouldn’t it be easier for these natural branches to be grafted onto the olive tree they belong to?

²⁵ Brothers and sisters, I want you to understand this mystery so that you won’t become arrogant. The minds of some Israelites have become closed until all of God’s non-Jewish people are included. ²⁶ In this way Israel as a whole will be saved, as Scripture says,

“The Savior will come from Zion.
    He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
²⁷ My promise^[b] to them will be fulfilled
    when I take away their sins.”

²⁸ The Good News made the Jewish people enemies because of you. But by God’s choice they are loved because of their ancestors. ²⁹ God never changes his mind when he gives gifts or when he calls someone. ³⁰ In the past, you disobeyed God. But now God has been merciful to you because of the disobedience of the Jewish people. ³¹ In the same way, the Jewish people have also disobeyed so that God may be merciful to them as he was to you. ³² God has placed all people into the prison of their own disobedience so that he could be merciful to all people.

³³ God’s riches, wisdom, and knowledge are so deep
    that it is impossible to explain his decisions
        or to understand his ways.
³⁴ “Who knows how the Lord thinks?
    Who can become his adviser?”
³⁵ Who gave the Lord something
    which the Lord must pay back?
³⁶ Everything is from him and by him and for him.
    Glory belongs to him forever! Amen!
