Paul draws his final conclusions about why the people of Israel hardened their hearts toward Christ while the Gentiles received the gospel eagerly.

Paul explains Israel's rejection of Jesus in light of God's sovereignty. Salvation is by God's sovereign grace, not man's free choice.

Paul shows us that the heart behind biblical evangelism is love for God and love for lost people.

The world may not value weakness, but from God's perspective we can see that when we are weak, we are truly strong.

No matter how we fail or what troubles come our way, nothing can separate us from the sovereign, loving, and saving purposes of God.

Believing that God will work all things together for the good for his people doesn't require a leap of faith. Rather, it's upheld by the reality of God's sovereignty in salvation.

God works all things for our good and his glory.

When we just don't know what to pray, the Holy Spirit helps our weakness by interceding for us according to the will of God.
