Romans 11:1-10 ESV / / Saved By Grace, Not By Numbers

Pastor AB ~ wk.69 "1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. 7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.” 9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them; 10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.”” ~ Romans 11:1-10 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome
