Sunday School – Romans 10–11 (4‑19‑26)

In this lesson, the teacher walks the class through Romans 10 and into 11, pressing hard on the difference between merely believing the Bible is true and actually being born again. He explains Paul’s burden for Israel, showing that even God’s chosen people must come the same way as the Gentiles—through conviction, confession, and the new birth. He warns against modern easy‑believism and the false idea that acknowledging God is enough, reminding listeners that salvation requires the Lord dealing with the heart and a sinner responding in repentance. Using his own testimony, he describes conviction as both fear and love pulling a person to Christ, and he celebrates that the gospel now gives equal access to Jew and Gentile alike. The lesson closes by highlighting Israel’s stumbling, the grafting in of the Gentiles, and God’s ongoing plan of grace.
