Ya, Israel and Judah were neighbors back in ancient times. One side had normal Jews. Other side had Canaanite Baal worshipers. They used to war until Babylon captured the Baal worshipers and enslaved them.
Jesus repeatedly asked his disciples and followers to believe in him. Christianity can be thought of as a reunification with God through the rebirth that occurs through faith. John 17:
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
