Who is this directed too? It’s sad
Did Jesus defend sinners or fruitless lives, or those who rejected His word?
Matt 21:19
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
Eph 5:11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
John 15:4
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
John 15:8
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
Presumption. Many claim to be able to tell good from evil, but do not know how to be mature in Christ.
I suspect many think they know faith and what Jesus intended but have not begun to walk.

Seriously... well then you admit dedication earns salvation ... you admit you earn salvation by your works...
You admit your dogma is outside the New Covenant which is salvation a gift given not earned by grace through faith apart from works ...so no one can boast.
So you admit your dogma is founded on self worth and boast.

This comes from He who sent Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin, from the house and lineage of David, king of Israel!
Because of peoples' pride and arrogance, and the "insatiable need", TO BE RIGHT! (FRUIT OF THE FALSE WHEAT)
IRREGARDLESS of the CONSEQUENCES!
Ezekiel 13
4 O Israel (christendom), thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel (christendom) to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.
10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

I am astonished at your ignorance! Actually? Saddened to the core for you!
Didn't Israel have God's grace?
Until WHEN??!!
Until they LOST IT!
This SAME "delusion", that BLINDED Israel?
Has BLINDED much of christendom!
Israel was CUT OFF! Because of UNBELIEF!
Yet, christendom IS EXEMPT? How ARROGANT CAN ONE BE?
Paul didn't think so!
Jesus doesn't think so either!
Neither does God!
Yet YOU DO?
How truly saddening!

Amen. Jesus said
John 3:5-6
I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
John 3:7 'You must be born again.'
But fruitless birth is no birth at all.
Are some fruitless birthed people defending their own lack of faith and life I wonder?

I humbly offer this:
And because of God's gracious gift to me (the gift of apostleship) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to the amount of faith that God has given you.
(Rom 12:3 GNB)
Through the grace given unto me - By the grace given St. Paul most certainly means his apostolical office, by which he had the authority, not only to preach the Gospel, but also to rule the Church of Christ. (Clarke)
-------------------------
Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another. (Joh 1:16 GNB)
The grace is God’s, the blessings He bestows upon us are ours. (Me)

Here are the gifts and calling that Paul was talking about:
"4who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises" - Romans 9:4
These will never be revoked from Israel because he promised them to Israel through Abraham, even though he has rejected them at this present time. He will never change his mind about Israel and His future plans for them. Future Israelites will inherit the promises made to Abraham. He swore to it. His Word is his oath.
"28From the standpoint of the gospel they (Israel) are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 29for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." - Romans 11:28-29

But I do know this much God deals with nations and individuals ...best not to mix the two.
And others who know more can correct you.
And absolutely no need for sorrow I know who Jesus is and what He has accomplished.
