Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, President of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. It's time for us now to look together into God's word and I want to begin with a word of prayer.

Father, I pray that as we look into your word that you would strengthen our hearts, renew, really

a steadfast spirit within us, and give me the ability to teach this passage, I pray for all who are watching and listening

that you will use these verses as a means of edification in their soul.

So we pray now the Holy Spirit will minister in me and through me and to all who are listening to this study in Christ's name. Amen.

Well, if you have your Bible, turn with me to Romans chapter 11

and we're going to be in verses 33 to 36. Now, I have to say at at the outset I know we're not going to be able to get to all these verses simply because of the profundity of these verses so I want to begin by reading this passage which I must tell you has become really

my favorite part of scripture, especially verse which we will save probably for next

time but let me begin by reading the passage I have entitled this the inscrutability

of God the inscrutability of God. The inscrutability of God.

The Apostle Paul writes, oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God.

How unsearchable are his judgments and unfathomable his ways.

For who has known the mind of the Lord,

or who became his counselor or who has first given to

him that it might be paid back to him again for from him and through him and to him are all things.

To him be the glory forever, amen.

In these verses, we come to the closing doxology of Romans chapters 1 through 11.

And the apostle Paul has just given us the most comprehensive instruction on the gospel of Jesus Christ
