Romans 9-11 Assignment

1) Paul is in pain over the idea that Israel is separated from Christ, and he goes so far as
to say he would sacrifice his own relationship with Christ so that Israel would be united
to Him.

2) The issue that Paul is addressing is that it no longer seems that God has a special
and/or unique plan for Israel or its future.

3) We need not worry obsessively about whether or not Israel will be saved or any
specific person for that matter; because it will all work out according to God’s plan.

4) I am not convinced that Paul takes the position of double predestination in this section
of Romans (Rom. 9-11). What Paul states in Romans 9:22-23 could be interpreted that
Paul is only suggesting the possibility for hypothetical conversation, but also some
sources agree that it looks as if the grammatical structure in this verse eludes that we
prepare the vessel of wrath ourselves (Nelson’s NKJV Study Bible. 1997. Thomas
Nelson, Inc.).

5) We no longer need to look to the Law for achieving righteousness, but rather we need
to have faith in Christ to be considered righteous.

6) Sequence of events that lead to faith (according to Rom. 10:14-17): Someone must
first be sent (called), then the sent person must preach the word from God, and finally the
person must hear it and in turn call on Christ.

7) It appears that Paul thinks of Israel and God’s promises to them as meaning the actual
Israel, although it seems that he also believes that Christ is the result in some ways to the
covenant to the Patriarchs. We see that Paul sees Gods promise as still directed in some
form to the literal Israel (Rom. 11: 28-29). It also looks like Christ is somewhat a
fulfillment of God’s covenant with the Jews (whole chapter 10 of Romans, but especially
10:21).

8) It appears to me as if Paul is saying that God is the center of all things and the purpose
for all things (Rom. 11:36) and so therefore we can trust Him and be content in all things
despite anything.
