ROMANS 9-11 SUMMARY
Romans 9: Gods sovereign choice of Israel as the vehicle of salvation
Romans 10: Israels stumbling over Christ and rebelling against God
Romans 11: The prospect of Israels restoration and God being glorified thereby
God has not totally rejected His people because of their unbelief
Gentiles salvation is a result of Israels rejection, so they need to learn from Israels mistakes
Gods rejection of His people is not final, and Gods purposes are too profound for man to understand

1 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. (NKJV)
