NOTES:

I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,

“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem,

and he will turn Israel[i] away from ungodliness.

And this is my covenant with them,

that I will take away their sins.”

Romans 11:25-27 (NLT)

For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy

on everyone.

Romans 11:32 (NLT)

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

For who can know the LORD’s thoughts?

Who knows enough to give him advice?

And who has given him so much

that he needs to pay it back?

For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended

for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.

Romans 11:33-36 (NLT)

God’s SILENCE isn’t His ABSENCE.

God’s DETOURS are not FAILURES.

God’s TIMELINE isn’t YOURS.

BOTTOM LINE:

God’s FAITHFULNESS is ABSOLUTE.
