One of Satan's biggest weapons is that of guilt. When we do something that goes against God's commands and laws, satan begins the conversation of see you messed up and now God will never love you again.
When this happens, remember satan is a liar.
And so all Israel will be saved. As it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob. [Isa. 59:20, 21.] And this will be My covenant (My agreement) with them when I shall take away their sins. [Isa. 27:9; Jer. 31:33.] From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]
Romans 11:26-29 AMPC
The Jews had rejected Jesus and crucified Him. Besides this, they refused to believe that Jesus had risen from the grave and that He was their Messiah.
They became His enemy. So, Jesus turned to us gentiles and said since they don't want me, I will turn my face to you and give you the blessings I intend for the the Jews.
There were promises made to Abraham and his descendents.
God's gifts and callings are without repentance. He still loves us even when we act like His enemy. He has made promises to us that no matter how far we stray, He is waiting right there for us. He loves us.
So, the next time the enemy tries to guilt you into giving up on God, turn to him and tell him that he is a liar and that God will never give up on you, He is your father.
Thank you Lord for your love and compassion for me. Thank you for never giving up on me. I love you Lord. Help me today to keep my eyes on your promises.
