Rom 11:35 | MHM | STEP | v. 35 : Paul continues, Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? . No one can say that God owes them anything. Everything we have comes from God (1 Chronicles 29:14 ). Whenever we serve God, we are only giving back what is already His. This truth is a reminder to the Jews that God did not owe them their special status, and to the Gentiles that their acceptance is a gift, not a right. God gives and takes away as He pleases, and He is always just.

‏ Romans 11:35

v. 35: Paul continues, Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? . No one can say that God owes them anything. Everything we have comes from God (1 Chronicles 29:14 ^a). Whenever we serve God, we are only giving back what is already His. This truth is a reminder to the Jews that God did not owe them their special status, and to the Gentiles that their acceptance is a gift, not a right. God gives and takes away as He pleases, and He is always just.
