INTRODUCTION.
25 For I do not want you, brothers, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”
27 “AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”
28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;
29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,
31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.
32 For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
34 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?
35 Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE REPAID TO HIM?
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

25 For I do not want you, brothers, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

Mystery.
Partial Hardening
Israel - Not all of Israel
Fullness of the Gentiles.
There is coming a time when all will be in.
God comes for His church.
All Israel will be saved.
Not everyone as a whole -
goes against Scripture.
must come through faith.
Zechariah 13:8 “8 “And it will be in all the land,” Declares Yahweh, “That two parts in it will be cut off and breathe their last; But the third will be left in it.”
Grace.
Israel is an enemy - refusal to accept Grace - Jesus as Messiah
Israel is still dearly loved, prized, or valued by God
Israel
Mercy of God.
Mercy of God.
The Gentiles were disobedient to God but God showed them mercy.
30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,
The Jews are now disobedient to God but God will show them mercy.
31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.
Everyone has been disobedient to God and God can show mercy to everyone.
32 For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
The Gentiles are not better than Israel.
9 What then? Are we better? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;
Mind of God.
Mind of God.
God’s Knowledge.
Unsearchable.
Unfathomable.
We can not understand His ways. His desire to save His enemies.
God’s Design.
God did not need our help in His plan of salvation.
We did earn God’s favor and salvation.
God does not owe us anything.
The circle complete.
From Him - creation.
Through Him - sustainer.
To Him - we return.
CONCLUSION.
We see the whole Bible fulfilled.
One group of People
Two groups of People - Jews and Gentiles
