So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation.I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.Since they are ignorant of the righteousness of God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness.

Romans 9:7-16
Neither is it the case that all of Abraham’s children are his descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac.That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring.For this is the statement of the promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.And not only that, but Rebekah conceived children through one man, our father Isaac.For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand—not from works but from the one who calls— she was told, The older will serve the younger.As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!For he tells Moses, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.So then, it does not depend on human will or effort but on God who shows mercy.

John 8:33-41
“ We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered him,“ and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say,‘ You will become free’?”Jesus responded,“ Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever.So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill me because my word has no place among you.I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father; so then, you do what you have heard from your father.”“ Our father is Abraham,” they replied.“ If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them,“ you would do what Abraham did.But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.You’re doing what your father does.”“ We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said.“ We have one Father— God.”

1John 5:18
-
Romans 9:1-5
I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying; my conscience testifies to me through the Holy Spirit—that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the benefit of my brothers and sisters, my own flesh and blood.They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.
