Summary

Romans 11:1–14 The descendants of Abraham are God's chosen people, but when they rejected Jesus as their Messiah, God set them aside and allowed others to form the church. How do we know God has not set aside His people, the nation of Israel, forever? Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he answers this question with four evidences from Romans 11. God still has a plan for the Jews. He keeps His promises. He hasn't cast you off either. Trust in His inscrutable plan. Knowledge of the Lord and unending peace will cover the earth!

0:00.0	In recent days, the nation of Israel has taken center stage in the global political theater.
0:13.0	For Bible-believing Christians, a question remains central. Has God permanently rejected the Jewish people for rejecting Jesus as Messiah?
0:21.6	Well, in Romans chapter 11, the Apostle Paul, himself a Jew, addresses this mystery with startling clarity.
0:28.6	And today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall explains Paul's emphatic answer,
0:33.6	revealing God's heart toward his chosen people and unveiling his magnificent long-term

1:06.6	I say then God has not rejected his people, has he?

1:12.3	For I too am in Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1:19.2	God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew, or did you not know what the scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God
1:30.2	against Israel? Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have torn down your altars and I alone
1:37.8	am left. And they're seeking my life. But what is the divine response to him? I have kept for myself 7,000 men who have not

1:58.4	a remnant, according to God's gracious choice. But if it is by grace, it is no longer
2:06.6	on the basis of works. Otherwise, grace is no longer grace. What then? What Israel is seeking,
2:17.2	it is not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it,
2:20.4	and the rest were hardened. Just as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes to see
