!! ROMANS THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
!! Bible Text: Romans 11:1-16, 10:18-21, 10:2-3, Matthew 15:9, 23:15
!! Subject: Hope
!! Title: The Hope For Israel Regarding Their Pathetic Present: Down But Not Out
!
INTRODUCTION
!! Biblical Orientation:
!!!
When we were in chapters 1-8 we learned two things very clearly: one, the Jew and Gentile both have been condemned by their sin.
As they are, without Christ, they have no hope whatsoever.
Second, the way of salvation is open to all people.
The person willing to place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will find forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and a place in heaven
!!! Chapters 9, 10, 11 deal with Israel and her relationship with God; Paul describes Israel in her past, present, and future.
We know according to chapter 9 that she has had a privileged past.
No other nation has seen the hand of God in such a spectacular way.
Chapter 10 describes the current position of Israel; all you have to do is watch the news to realize she has many problems.
As we enter chapter 11, we will see that while Israel is down; she is not out.
God has given her a promising future
!! Sermon Orientation:
!!! To illustrate her current situation Paul tells the truth about her hope, he also exposes how she became the way she is and then reveals the opportunity of the Gentiles in this time
!
MAIN TEXT~/EXPOSITION
!
I. THE TRUTH OF ISRAEL’S CURRENT SITUATION V 1-6
!! A. Is Israel Cast Away And Without Hope?
V 1-2a
!!! 1. Verses 18-21 of chapter 10 paint a pretty grim picture and cause one to wonder
!!!! a. Paul had quoted the prophets regarding Israel
!!!! b.
He spoke of the harshness of God’s judgment upon them
!!!! c.
It almost sounds as if their disobedience has left them without hope
!!!! d.
Anticipating this, Paul begins to reveal the truth regarding their position
!!! 2. Some will try to fool you
!!!! a.
Some preachers try to teach God is through with the Jews
!!!! b.
They will say that all of Israel’s promises now belong to the church
!!!! c.
If God feels that way, why does God have Paul call the Jews “His people”?
!!! 3. Paul gives a simple, direct, and easy to understand answer
!!!! a. God forbid!
!!!!! i. μη γενοιτο
!!!!! ii.
The strongest possible stating of it is not so!
!!!! b.
Paul reminds the Romans (who knew about him) that he was also a Jews and it would mean that he was not saved if God was through with the Jews
!!!! c.
God has in no way forsaken His people
!!!! d.
How can He, it says that he “foreknew” them
!!! 4. When God gave all the promises to the Jews, He knew that they would act as they have
!!!! a.
For that fact, when God sent His Son to die for your sins, He knew where you would be
!!!! b.
God knew each of us would be heathen when He found us
!!!! c.
Yet, His promise is always true!
!! B. It Has Seemed Before That Israel Was Without Hope v 2b-4
!!! 1.
This reference is to Elijah on Mt.
Carmel in 1 Kings 19
!!!! a. Elijah had stood up to Ahab and Jezebel, he thought he was the only one left that had not bowed his knees to a false god
!!!!! i.
There is a wonderful picture here: when you stand for God, it may seem you are alone
!!!!! ii.
Taking the right stand for God can be a lonely thing in an earthly way
!!!!! iii.
*However, God did not let him think that very long, God reminded him there is always a remnant*
!!!! b.
When there is no earthly hope left, God has just the right plan
!!! 2. It does not look good for Israel at this time
!!!! a.
They are constantly bombarded by the American Press
!!!! b.
World leaders often seem against them
!!!! c.
But God says…
!! C. A Remnant Is Left v 5-6
!!! 1.
The remnant is those that are Jews and have trusted in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior
!!!! a.
They have placed their faith that Jesus is God’s Son
!!!! b.
They believe in Him for the forgiveness of sins
!!! 2. They have been preserved according to the election of God’s grace v 5
!!!! a.
In the same way you and I have been saved; they also are saved
!!!!! i. God has chosen His people to know Christ
!!!!! ii.
Some have accepted their election
!!!! b.
They were there in Paul’s present time and ours as well
!!! 3. Their preservation depends on God’s grace not their good works v 6
!!!! a. Paul often alludes back to the fact that Jews believe they are saved by the keeping of the Law
!!!! b.
However, it is not their works that save them or it would not be grace
!!!! c.
Since God saves by grace, no work on our part is involved
!
