God will not give up on us: Romans 9-11

What have we learned from Romans 9-11? The main point Paul returns to in his sometimes tortuous discussion is this: when it comes to accomplishing salvation, everything is in God's hands – not in the hands of the church, nor in those of 'Israel. God will not give up on us. His promise of life is centered in the death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Deliverer from sin, death, and the power of the devil for Jew and Gentile alike. Perhaps no where in the Bible is it made more clear that a merciful God is orchestrating human history than it is here, at this specific point, in the book of Romans.
