The theology of Romans 9–11 magnifies God’s grace and exalts His sovereignty. Never lose the wonder of your salvation or of the greatness of God. No matter how deep the valley or difficult the battle, a vision of God’s greatness puts joy in your heart and strength in your soul. God knows what He is doing even if you do not understand it fully.
There is a future for Israel; Paul is proof of that (see v. 1 and [1]1 Tim. 1:16 below), and so is Israel’s past history (vv. 2–10). God has always had a believing remnant in Israel, no matter how dark the day. When you become discouraged about the future of the church and feel that you may be the only faithful Christian left, read 1 Kings 19 and focus on God’s greatness.
We cannot explain all the purposes and plans of God, but we can worship and praise Him for who He is. The result of all Bible study is worship, and the result of all worship is service to the God we love.
