The reconcilliation of the Promised
The people of righteousness had to drop everything to follow him. They had to leave behind the old wineskin, and become the new wine and belong to the new wineskin. The new wineskin is the body of Christ, those who were promised to him. As their Messiah, he gathers them to himself, becomes their new mediation. He is the temple of God, destroyed and raised again three days later. The promised whom belong to him.
There is a great difference between those whom the great commission was set in motion for, and the remainder of the world. The great commission was to bring the truth to Jews about the Lord and his coming. The great commission was a petition of love and power, shown in wonders and miracles performed.
The Commandments for the Hebrews and the lessons of their prophets, were summarized and kept complete by the Lord in his ministry.
The two commandments summarize the purpose of obedience:
---
Matthew 22:37-40
37
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments
---
The two commandments come from the Lord himself. These do not suspend the Law or the lessons of the prophets, no. But what they do instead is give a clear path through the wilderness, they create the direction that is shown to an enlightened mind. Love is the rock in which the church is founded upon.
The church itself is the body of Christ, which is specifically those whom believe; and in their belief, set themselves aside so that in the moment, what is holy can come through them (via the kingdom upon them).

The Kingdom of Heaven and the Chosen
Lost in the rest of the world, are the children of belief. These are said to be the true children of Abraham, not of geneology no, but of faithfulness.
---
Philippians 3:9
9
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
---
Faith shows righteousness is recognized in the Father alone. As faithfulness is not of the flesh, but is holy and of the Spirit of Truth. So the promised and the chosen are to be collected, gathered to celebrate the marriage of the Truth with infinite capacity. The merging of the seen with the unseen under the authority of a new creation; the living Word of God.
---
Saul was not called in the same way because although he was circumsized and although he was of the people of righteousness, he was chosen to deliver the ministry of faith. Paul delivered a ministry to the Gentiles whom walk in their transgressions.
---
Romans 1:17
17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
---
Gentiles were not given the law, the prophets, nor the two commandments. Instead they must believe that when they deny themselves, in that humility and of their sincerity, the Holy Spirit can act through them to serve others by the fruits of holiness. These fruits are actions of an unseen quality, actions based solely on love.
These actions; founded in belief, are of the Spirit of Truth, and come through the Gentile by the Kingdom of heaven that is upon them. As they are not themselves people of righteousness, what is righteous acts through them.
---
The Promised and the Chosen
The true vine is one of faith, the body of which Christ Jesus is the head. Some natural, some grafted on. The living Word of God, whom will collect from the world, his which are sleeping and even some whom will be in existence at the time. Those who are in existence at the time of the rapture, are the last, whom will be taken first.
Glory to God in the Highest, the differences between those of righteousness and those whom walk in their transgression is coming into the light! The gospel of the Kingdom is coming clear!
Share this! As it is worthy of sharing!
