God Calls You My Loved Ones

Concept: Those who accept the Lord are included in His promises even though not a Jew or direct heir of Abraham they are inheritors of Abraham’s promises because of faith in Jesus.

Rom 9:24 Even including ourselves whom He has called, not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles (heathen)?

Rom 9:25 Just as He says in Hosea, Those who were not My people I will call My people, and her who was not beloved [I will call] My beloved.  [Hos 2:23.] AMP

"The contents of these verses refer back to the fact that Paul includes the Gentiles with the Jews within the scope of God's mercy. The "my people which were not my people," and the "beloved which was not beloved" are the Gentiles. Alford says: "It is difficult to ascertain in what sense the apostle cites these two passages from Hosea as applicable to the Gentiles being called the people of God. That He does so, is manifest from the words themselves and from the transition to the Jews in verse 27. In the prophet they are spoken of Israel, ...who after being rejected and put away, was to be again received into favor with God." He suggests that the explanation is as follows: "He (Paul) brings them forward to show that it is consonant with what we know of God's dealings, to receive as His people those who were formerly not His people — that this may now take place with regard to the Gentiles, as it was announced to happen with regard to Israel, — and even more, — that Israel in this as in so many other things was the prophetic mirror in which God foreshowed on a small scale, His future dealings with mankind."

Translation. As also in Hosea He says, I will call those not my people, my people, and those not beloved, beloved. And it shalt come to be that in the place where it was said to them, Not my people are you, there they shall be called sons of the living God."  This is from Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New
