ROM # 61 God's gifts and calling irrevocable ROM 11 vs 25-31

Berean Sovereign Grace Church

Message Title (s): 1. A partial hardening, 2. God's gifts and calling irrevocable.1. Paul continued to explain the mystery behind Israel's unbelief.2. He said it is more than what meets the naked eye. God is working something, thus their unbelief is God driven, but with a purpose.3. The purpose is bring in all the gentiles and then the elect from among national ethnic Israel. He says, do not be ignorant of this mystery lest you get conceited.4. And I surmise that the reasoning behind this staggard approach is so that the Jew and Gentile elect would only boast in the cross of Christ.5. But there is more to all these details. 1. Romans 11:25 (NKJV), For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.2. Romans 11:28-30 (NKJV) 28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
