The Remnant of Israel (1-10)
The Remnant of Israel (1-10)
God has not rejected His people Israel. The proof is the remnant pattern.
Paul was part of the remnant.
Elijah was just one of many who had not bowed the knee to Baal.
There is now a remnant chosen by grace (verse 5-7). Elect here refers to believing Jews.
The Redemptive Plan of God for Gentiles (11-24)
The Redemptive Plan of God for Gentiles (11-24)
God’s purpose in including Gentiles in His redemptive plan was in part, to provoke Israel to jealousy.
Israel’s rejection of Christ has led to the salvation of the Gentiles.
Don’t boast against the branches, but recognize both the severity and kindness of God.
We cannot ignore parts of God’s nature, he is both just and merciful, severe (lit. to cut off) and kind.
