This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God. And they will be my people.
ROMANS 9:4 (NLT)
They are the people of Israel, chosen to be God’s adopted children. God revealed his glory to them. He made covenants with them and gave them his law. He gave them the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God doesn't backtrack on his wonderful promises.

What to you is the most important promise in the Bible?
PRAYER
Promise keeper God, you have been faithful throughout the ages—even giving more than promised. Yet, I so quickly forget and start assuming that everything has to revolve around what I say and think. Write your new covenant promises on my heart so that they guide all my decisions and affections. I want to be a promise keeper, too. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
