Romans 11:1-36
Big Idea: For From God And Through God And To God Are All Things.
To God be the glory forever:
1) God has chosen a remnant of ethnic Israelites for salvation by grace (v. 1 -10)
God has not rejected His people:
1) Paul’s personal testimony (v. 1b)
2) God’s covenant-keeping character (v. 2a)
3) God’s remnant in Elijah’s day in the Old Testament (v. 10:2b-4)
4) God’s remnant in the present day (v. 5-7)
2) God has saved and grafted in Gentiles by grace (v. 11-24)
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
– Romans 1:16
