Romans 11 – A Redemption Mystery

Dave Riddle – 05/19/19

Key Passage: Romans 11:25-32

“This mystery”

  • Romans 11:25
  • Greek word mysterion (μυστήριον); a secret hidden in the past but now revealed.

    • Three Connected Truths

    1. Israel
      • Romans 11:25
        • “A partial hardening has come upon Israel…”
          1. Gentiles
            • Romans 11:25
              • “…until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
              • Fullness = plērōma (πλήρωμα)
                1. Israel
                  • Romans 11:26
                    • “…all Israel will be saved,”
                    • “Israel” – who is Paul referring to?
                      • The church?
                      • The ethnic/national Israel (The descendants of Abraham)?
                      • Not Israel as a whole, but Israel as a community?
                      • Those who put their faith in the Christ.

                        • The Redeemer

                        • Romans 11:26b-27
                        • A salvation from sin through faith in Jesus.

                          • Two Concluding Statements

                          1. God’s election remains
                            • Romans 11:28-29
                            • They are still God’s chosen people.
                            • He keeps his covenant with the patriarchs.
                              1. God shows Mercy to the disobedient
                                • Romans 11:30-32
                                • A universal act of disobedience is met with divine mercy!
                                • All of us are candidates for the lavish love of God.
                                  • ...more
