Teaching: Salvation for Foreigners
Scripture:
1 This is what the LORD says:
“Maintain justice and do what is right,
for My salvation is coming soon,
and My righteousness will be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say,
“The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.”
And let the eu**ch not say,
“I am but a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the LORD says:
“To the eu**chs who keep My Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases Me
and hold fast to My covenant—
5 I will give them, in My house and within My walls,
a memorial and a name better than that of sons and
daughters. I will give them an everlasting name
that will not be cut off.
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD
to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD,
and to be His servants—all who keep the Sabbath without
profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
7 I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful
in My house of prayer.Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a
house of prayer for all the nations.”
8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of
Israel:“I will gather to them still others besides those already
gathered.”
