Romans 11:1-10
\nThe Remnant of Israel<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 04\/02\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 11:1-10.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 I say then, Did not God thrust away His people? Let it not be! For I also am an Israelite, out of Abraham’s seed, of the tribe of Benjamin. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2 “God did not thrust away His people” whom He foreknew. Psa. 94:14 Or do you not know what the Scripture said in Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 Lord, “they killed Your prophets,” “and they dug down Your altars,” “and only I am left, and they seek my life.” 1 Kg. 19:10 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 But what does the Divine answer say to him, “I reserved to Myself seven thousand men who did not bow a knee to Baal.” 1 Kg. 19:18 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

5 So then, also in the present time a remnant according to election of grace has come into being. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

6 But if by grace, no longer is it of works; else grace no longer becomes grace. But if of works, it is no longer grace; else work is no longer work. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

7 What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

8 even as it has been written, “God gave to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not seeing and ears not hearing” until this day. Isa. 29:10; Deut. 29:4 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

9 And David said, “Let their table become for a snare and a trap, and for a stumbling block,” and a repayment to them; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

10 “let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and their back always bowing.” LXX-68:23, 24; MT-Psa. 69:22, 23 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[Literal Translation of the Holy Bible]<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Questions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Why do the people of Israel always commit the sin of opposing God, yet God still does not forsake them?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Is it unfair for God to give many people a spirit of slumber?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Why did the Holy Spirit, through King David, express such heavy curses upon the people of Israel?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. From this segment of the Bible, what can we understand about God’s punishment of a whole nation while also choosing individuals within that nation who have a faithful heart towards Him?<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Applications:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1. In your opinion, how does God treat your people?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. In your opinion, is the Church of God in your country actively preaching the Gospel to your people?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. As a Christian in the Church of God in your country, what have you done to preach the Gospel to your people?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
