Has God Written Off Israel?
In his message titled "Has God written off Israel?" Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explores Romans 11:1-23, where Paul emphasizes God's ongoing faithfulness to Israel despite their rejection of Christ. Paul affirms that God has not rejected His people, as evidenced by the remnant chosen by grace. Salvation, Paul stresses, is a result of God's grace, not human works, illustrating this with the example of Elijah and the remnant. He underscores God's sovereignty in showing mercy and hardening hearts, using the analogy of grafting to illustrate the inclusion of Gentiles into God's covenant. Paul warns against Gentile pride and encourages humility, reminding both Jews and Gentiles of God's power to restore and the necessity of faithfulness through reliance on His mercy for salvation. This passage serves as a reassurance that God has not forsaken Israel but continues His redemptive plan through His faithfulness, sovereignty, and mercy, extending salvation to all who believe.
