A Brief Exposition of Romans (Paul’s Doctrine Of Sovereignty) Part 2

Beloved,

A fundamental premise that must be established here is that God is not the respecter of persons based upon ethnic criteria. Paul’s passionate plea is that the nation of Israel would see with clarity the error of their thinking. This is not simply an intellectual matter for Paul; it is a matter of deep sorrow as he witnesses the blindness of religion within the Jews that has led his people into thinking that salvation is more of a birth right and a gift. This error has come about though God has granted to Israel the Law and the prophets. The history of Israel is replete with God’s divine intervention but it has not resulted in the true understanding of God’s decrees calling the nation to be a witness to the world. Rather, Israel has elevated itself above all others and has taken on a disdainful view of humanity outside the covenant community of the Jews.
However, Paul’s point here is that the word of God has not failed! In reality, God’s purposes in salvation have never been national or ethnic though the expressions of this covenantal love relationship certainly came to the world through the nation of Israel. Accordingly as Paul point out, the Messiah Himself came to the world also through the nation of Israel but His work and word applies to all people and not just the Jews. Paul summarily states that it is not one’s ethnicity that is considered but one’s inclusion through regeneration that is necessary. As evidence of this point, Paul reminds the nation of Israel that Abraham and Sarah were and would have remained childless apart from God’s divine intervention. Although attempted through human means God specifically corrected Abraham’s error in understanding twice and fulfilled His promise to Abraham through Sarah’s conception and birth of Isaac. All this Paul says was to confirm God’s plan of election; that is, those whom God has promised to provide will in fact see birth although here not specifically physical birth but spiritual rebirth.
