How do you respond to truth?

  • Romans 10:20-11:10 has no commands yet provides us with eternal truths meant to influence how we live and worship Jesus in the present!

10:20 teaches us an Eternal !

  • The one who finds and knows Jesus through faith in the Gospel is eternally saved! This truth is the foundation of our worship!

10:21 teaches us an Eternal !

  • Those who reject Jesus’ invitation to be saved are eternally doomed! This is a hard and tragic truth, not only for Israelites, but for all who refuse the Gospel!

11:1-2a teaches us Israel’s Future !

  • America, nor any other nation has this future promise! This is an encouraging truth for Jews, but a hard truth and call to prayer for all other nations!
  • “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” Psalm 33:12

11:2b-6 teaches us our Present-Day !

  • The Church is God’s present-day remnant of people who worship Him and we are to live bold and fearless like Elijah!
  • A nation who worships Baal is characterized by: Idolatry: Exodus 20:1-6; Immorality: Num. 25; I Kings 14:23-24; Hosea 4:12-14; Child Sacrifice: 2 Kings 23:10; Jer. 32:35; Violence & Injustice: I Kings 21
  • Living like Elijah means we Faithfully worship God; Fearless in opposition; Fervent in prayer; I Kings 17-19, II Kings 1-2

11:7-10 alerts us to Present-Day !

  • Those who continually reject the Gospel live with blurred vision, unaware of the truth if they die in their sins. LIVE LIKE ELIJAH!!!
