Bible Note: Zach: Would you agree that; When we trust Christ or accept Christ as our redeemer and savior by faith, we are saved by his grace alone. We are changed from within by the Holy Spirit of God. However, he also saves us daily as we walk for him, again by his Spirit and through his word he will give us the power to overcome the world. When we sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous. The third aspect of salvation is our salvation from the old world all together at his coming 1 Thess. 4. a) Saved from the penaly of our sin, forgiven because of his precious blood. b) Saved from the power of Sin by the Holy Spirit c) Saved from the presence of Sin when he calls us to be with himself. The context of Romans 11 teaches us that Nationally, Israel has been set aside and yet we find in v25-27 that Israel will be restored back to God nationally "when the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. V.13-24 Paul is warning the Gentiles that the grace of God which has been given them is not to be taken for granted. It was because of unbelief the natural branches (Israel nationally) were cut off. He reminds the Gentiles that God's blessing comes to them by faith and they in fact have nothing to boast and indeed if the Gentiles fail to continue in his goodness, they will also be cut off. Nevertheless, God is still saving individuals from all nations who come to Christ by faith. IN Christ Robert |
