Remnant of Grace
Aug 25, 2013 • Pastor Brad Snyder • Romans 11:1-6
God has not rejected His people. Israel had the Law and Covenant, but chose to worship Baal. God saved a remnant. Israel had the Messiah, but killed and rejected Christ. God saved His church. If God did not reject Israel throughout Scripture, He will not reject that church that He has saved and grafted into His Son, the true Israel. And that means that we can rest. Because God has not rejected His people, our rebelliousness cannot separate us from Him or make us too far gone to be saved and we can rest in His grace. Because God has not rejected His people, we cannot earn our place with Him and we can rest in His grace. If it was any other way, it wouldn't be grace and we could never rest.
