Bible Note: Dear CDBJ, If indeed I am boasting, my boast is in Christ. To Him be all glory and honor! Rom 11:1-5 I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? "Lord, THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE." But what is the divine response to him? "I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL." In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice. Paul is disabusing those Gentiles who are of the notion that the Jews have been totally cast away and abandoned by God. He points to himself as a Jew to make his point. He follows that by further pointing out that among the Jewish nation there is still a REMNANT among the rest. This remnant exists not because they were born into the tribe of Israel, but because of God’s grace! John |
