Intro
Series - Studies On The Book Of Romans
This Part - Romans 9
Review
The life of the righteous
his way of thinking
his quickened life
his hope
his security
Israel’s birthright
Paul expresses his sorrow over Israel’s missed blessing
Paul narrates Israel’s privileges
adoption as sons - they have the right to be called sons of God
glory - the glory that is to come
covenants - God established numerous covenants with them
giving of the law
service of God - worship
promises
What was Paul saying here?
Israel wasted so many things that were given to Him grace
Israel will not get to enjoy these privileges although they were first given to her.
Jesus has already declared it
God’s Election
But not everything is wasted
not all of Israel are true believers of God
not all Israelites are the seed Abraham
The true “seed” are not known by natural relations;
The true “seed” are the children of the promise.
In other words, they are born by promise, by the word of God.
Isaac - he was promised to Abraham and Sarah
Jacob - he was promised to rule over his brother
What was Paul saying here?
1./ being a child of Abraham in the flesh (the Jews) does not guarantee birthright and blessing.
2./ true birthright is by election (and purpose) - because you are born with a purpose
A true child of God is born of the will of God
3./ true blessing is received when we respond to God’s call by faith in His promise.
( a promise is a declaration of God’s purpose from the beginning.)
Esau did not believe it
but Jacob believed it with all his being
4./ God’s love for Jacob relates to His purpose in the man’s life - not that he did not commit many mistakes!
5./ but God’s love for Esau relates to the man’s many mistakes, alone.
God’s Sovereign Will
Paul defends God’s righteous acts
God is exercising His sovereign will
Example - God’s will over pharaoh
Paul likened God’s will to a potter’s power
the potter is sovereign in his decisions over the clay
but God’s sovereign power is more complex than that of the potter
the potter’s power is straightforward
God responds to men differently
with men like pharaoh, God had only to consider the man’s present action
with others, God had to consider His purpose from the beginning
What was Paul saying here?
1./ God is righteous in His exercise of His sovereign will
2./ God is exercising His sovereign will to ensure that His purpose from the beginning is accomplished.
3./ God’s calling of the Gentiles is in line with His purpose from the beginning
God has already implied His plan in numerous O.T. prophecies
God’s dealing with Israel is not wasted in that there is a ‘remnant’ who gets saved.
Conclusion
How did Israel miss her salvation?
she did not pursue the word of God by faith
she focused on establishing her own righteousness
she rejected at Christ
Self-righteousness is a human effort to exalt human goodness.
Self-righteousness is a human effort to save oneself from God’s judgment.
Self-righteousness leads to rejection of Christ one’s Savior and Lord.
