Summary
As we continue in this class into chapter 11, we're gonna see the distinction that Paul makes regarding Israel and God's chosen people or as God's chosen people in the past. And Israel, God's chosen people, post-crucifiction and resurrection, that the Gentile believers are grafted into Israel, that there is not a new Israel, God's chosen are God's chosen. So if we look at verse six of Romans, chapter nine, and excuse me, he says, he's talking prior to this about the anguish that he's in over his lost brethren. So let's go to Genesis, keep a bookmark there in Romans, because we're going to come back to it. In fact, if you go back and rewatch pastor eyeballs studies, adult education on Genesis, he goes through Jacob and you see, you see Jacob has many moments where he's really, if it were up to us, we would not think that he should be a recipient of any sort of divine promise. The Psalmist draws it because the very next word at the beginning of verse 2 is therefore, because God is our refuge, because He is our strength, because He is a very present help in trouble.
