"For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye." Deut. 32:9-10
Consider these two verses as one the the greatest illustrations of God's grace in the entire Bible.
It is the word picture of the salvation of Jacob as God changed him and re-named him Israel.
One can not ponder long what God did until coming to the place of praise and thanks for what God already done, or desired to do, for every sinner who repents of his or her sin and receives Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.
Every person is born in sin.
Satan's desire is to change nothing.
But God so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (Jh. 3:16) The picture of our COMPASSIONATE GOD.
He loves you just as He loved Jacob.
Who can doubt it in view of the verse above?
