Why Bless Israel

If you love God, love Israel!

God loves Israel. You love God. But have you ever really thought about what it would mean for you to love Israel as God does?

In this pathbreaking volume, Charles Shefler explores the biblical story of God's covenant relationship to His chosen people, Israel. He describes the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the ways the Christian church has strayed from its Jewish spiritual heritage. He examines how Christianity has cut itself off from the fruitful vine of that is Israel into which God has grafted all Gentile believers---the vine to which Jesus Himself belonged.

Born to a Jewish family, it took Shefler many years to learn that Christianity isn't really a religion of the Gentiles, but an offshoot of the Jewish faith. At the same time, many Christian churches have entirely lost track of their Hebrew roots, the spiritual heritage Israel brings to us, and God's promises to Israel that remain to be fulfilled.

This book will help you understand how your Christian faith has been blessed by its Jewish roots, and how you can live as a blessing to the Jewish people and the nation of Israel today. It will give you a new paradigm for understanding your Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will fuel a new devotion to the God who commissioned His own Son to bring Good News to the Hebrew nation and through them to us all.

God tells us "Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, And whoever curses Israel will be cursed" (Num. 24:9b). Israel brought God's greatest blessing to the entire world. Surely it's time to return the gift by giving our blessings to Israel.

What would it mean for you to bless Israel? Let this book help you discover how!
