AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 9:32 And why not? Because it was not by faith [that they pursued it], but as though it were by works [relying on the merit of their works instead of their faith]. They stumbled over the stumbling Stone [Jesus Christ]. [Is 8:14; 28:16] |
Bible Question:
Could you please discuss Romans 11:7 in details for me. I want to know if what I have in mind is correct. I believe "Faith and Patience" is what the Israelites who were blinded lacked and it caused their not obtaining what the were seeking for. I wait for your contributions |
Bible Answer: They lacked faith in Jesus, which blinded them in their search for salvation. They trusted in works of the Law, rather than the grace of the Lord who gave the Law. Rom 9:31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. Rom 9:32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, Rom 9:33 just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." 2 Cor 3:14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. 2 Cor 3:15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; 2 Cor 3:16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away |
