STUDIES IN ROMANS

LESSON 54

THE MERCY OF GOD

Romans 11:28-32 (KJV)

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. ²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. ³⁰ For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: ³¹ Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. ³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Romans 11:28-32 (CEB)

²⁸ According to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake, but according to God’s choice, they are loved for the sake of their ancestors. ²⁹ God’s gifts and calling can’t be taken back. ³⁰ Once you were disobedient to God, but now you have mercy because they were disobedient. ³¹ In the same way, they have also been disobedient because of the mercy that you received, so now they can receive mercy too. ³² God has locked up all people in disobedience, in order to have mercy on all of them.

1.    THE GOSPEL VS. ELECTION V. 28

2.    THE GIFTS & CALLING OF GOD V. 29

3.    OBTAINING MERCY V. 30-32

Ø  Because of the Jews not believing God, the door was opened for the Gentiles to receive the mercy of God

Ø  Now our responsibility is to live and proclaim the availability of this mercy to the Jews so they can receive it as they become believers

Ø  God has made us all equal in this: all have sinned so all must believe in God’s mercy & believe on Christ Jesus

“THE MERCY OF GOD IS AN OCEAN DIVINE, A BOUNDLESS AND FATHOMLESS FLOOD”
