Romans 11:1, "I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not!"
Has God cast away His people? Paul's question makes sense as at this point in Romans. If Israel's rejection of the gospel was somehow both consistent with God's eternal plan (Romans 9:1-29) and Israel's own choosing (Romans 9:30-10:21), then does this mean that Israel's fate is settled, and there is no possibility of restoration?
Certainly not! Despite their present state, Israel is not permanently cast away. Now Paul will explain this answer.
Dear Holy God, thank you for always giving us another chance to accept your grace!
