Romans 11: God Has Not Cast Away His People
God has not cast away Israel: a remnant believes by grace, the rest are hardened in part and for a time, Gentiles are grafted in by faith and must not boast, and when the fulness of the Gentiles has come in, the Deliverer will come and all Israel shall be saved, for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
The lesson walks through the topic one card at a time. The full study is the complete written article, with its sources.
Show from Paul, Elijah, and the remnant that God has not cast away Israel.
Explain judicial hardening, and why Israel's is partial, temporary, and purposeful.
Read the olive tree and its warning in context, and explain why it does not teach that a born-again person can be lost.
Explain all Israel shall be saved as a future national turning to Christ at His return, and answer the main alternative readings.
Close the chapter as Paul did, in worship.
