Did God reject his people? By no means!

 Romans 11:1-10

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah. And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, It is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”

David says, May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

Has God rejected his people, then" No. Paul himself is a Jew, one of the few who are true to God. as in the days of the prophet Elijah. The nation's blindness is partial and temporary. 

Why?

God does not reject his people Israel. But for their heard are hardened, so they sought so earnestly they did not obtain, it is meaningless to their life. But God's grace still on them for the Lord elects some of them, but the others were hardened. Their eyes are darkened, so they cannot see, their backs be bent forever. back be bent forever: always shaking and fear.

Our eyes see part of the truth, but the Lord has done much more than we thought and we know. God's grace is poured on those who be chosen by God. Only the elected are a little, much more are rejected.

God's grace is worldwide, there is a remnant chosen by grace. So great that we could be chosen to be Christians.

猶太人不信不是沒有人傳，是他們不信。但是神沒有放棄他們，仍然會存留一部份人，他們仍然出於神的揀選，他們相信神。以利亞的事為例。

我們要小心，特別我們引以為傲，最在行的，有可能成為我們的網羅。神的目的不是擊潰我們而在重新建造我們。如果我們以為可以靠自己的才幹、知識、能力、恩賜做什麼事，必會犯錯。以色列人就是自傲、自高、自大，以為認識神的旨意，最後走錯。我們必須在神面前謙卑。

神在任何地方都會留下一批人，承接神的使命。願我們就是那批人。不用在乎我們好不好，因為神已經揀選我們。

How?

God gives us the chance to select our way, may my life could be a light to all people around me, and let them know that God is good.
