They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation (Deut 32:21) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God (1 Cor 10:32) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:20) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (I Cor 6:17) And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven (Jn 3:13) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph 2:6)
For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Eph 5:30) For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread (1 Cor 10:17) So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another (Rom 12:5) And HE is the head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things HE might have the preeminence (Col 1:18) Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular (1 Cor 12:27)
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME? (Acts 9:4; 22:7; 26:14-15) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these MY brethren, ye have done it unto ME (Matt 25:40) A Sower went out to sow HIS SEED (Lk 8:5) The GOOD SEED are the children of the KINGdom (Matt 13:38) And I will sow her unto ME in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art My people; and they shall say, Thou art my God (Hosea 2:23) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (1 Jn 3: ) Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth Him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of Him (1 Jn 5:1) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit (I Cor 12:12-13)
Which in HIS times HE shall shew, Who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords (1 Tim 6:15) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto HIM that loved us, and washed us from our sins in HIS own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to *HIM* be glory and dominion for ever and ever. (Rev 1:5-6) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Rev 5:9-10)
But now they desire a Better Country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a City (Heb 11:16) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the City of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect (Heb 12:21-23) But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all (Gal 4:26) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the KINGdom of His dear Son: (Col 1:13) And hath put all things under His feet, and gave HIM to be the Head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all (Eph 1:22-23) My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her (SoS 6:9)
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them My people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: for He will finish the work, and cut it short in Righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth (Rom 9:25-27) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (Rom 11:5-7) As the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong (Joel 2:2) As a strong people set in battle array (Joel 2:5)
=============================
There's no such thing as a Christian nation, but the Church of God is called an Holy Nation in the Scriptures. The Holy Nation's citizens are currently scattered throughout the world's 195 nation states. Our citizenship is in Heaven, The Better Country. Our Constitution of divine freedom is the King James Bible which contains the Glorious Gospel of the Grace of God which has made us FREE indeed. Our Sovereign King is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. We are Kings, Priests, Ambassadors and Soldiers to our heavenly KING here on Earth. Our conversation, behavior, and conduct should always glorify our KING and never dishonor Him.
