Introduction: Review:
• God is Sovereign - Israel's Past (Romans 9)
• God is Fair - Israel's Present (Romans 10)
• God is Faithful - Israel's Future (Romans 11)
Remnant:
God's Chosen People - Israel (11:1-10)
God can be trusted because
Israel's rejection of the gospel is not universal.
Revelation:
God's Chosen People - Church (11:11-24)
God can be trusted because
Israel's rejection of the gospel is purposeful.
Restoration:
God's Chosen People - Israel (11:25-32)
God can be trusted because
Israel's rejection of the Gospel is not permanent.
Reason:
God's Chosen Purpose - His Glory (11:33-36)
Praise God for His wisdom & grace.
Oh, the depth of the riches of both
the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways!
Next Steps
• Analyze where your trust really lies. Do you trust God with your eternity? Do you trust Him with your future? Do you trust Him with your day to day provisions?
• Make a plan to read the Bible with a mental highlighter looking for the faithfulness of God.
