Romans 9:30-10:13 ~ Why Israel Stumbles Over Christ + PDF Teacher's Notes

Most Israelis in Paul’s day rejected Jesus as Messiah. This naturally led to the question, Has the Word of God failed? Romans 9 – 11 explains that God’s Word had not failed because His promises were on to those descendants of Abraham who also had the faith of Abraham. Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel. Romans 9 concerns God’s sovereignty in salvation (unconditional election). Romans 10 concerns man’s responsibility. There are human reasons why Israel rejected the righteousness of Christ.
