Romans 11:1
cast That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter.- (1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1)
- (2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6).
- (3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10).
- (4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25).
- (5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22).
- (6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24).
- (7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; Genesis 15:5,6; Galatians 3:29 and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant.
