welcome to gospel commission I hope
0:02
you're blessed in the Lord today in this
0:04
video we're going to look at Romans
0:05
chapter 9 verse 1-6 we're not going to
0:08
go verse by verse but what we are going
0:09
to do is look at some key passages that
0:12
can help us to understand what Paul is
0:13
saying in these verses we're going to
0:16
start a series going all the way through
0:17
Romans 9 and like I said it's not going
0:19
to be detail going through every uh nook
0:22
and cranny of the chapter but instead
0:24
what we're going to do is we're going to
0:25
find some key passages that can help us
0:27
to understand what Paul's line of
0:29
thinking is throughout Romans chapter 9
0:31
so that Romans 9 is not a mystery to us
0:34
but we have a sure confident biblical
0:36
interpretation of it many times Romans 9
0:39
is considered to be deterministic or
0:40
mysterious but it's not it's very clear
0:43
it's what Paul preaches everywhere that
0:46
uh it's through the gospel believing in
0:47
the gospel both Jew and Gentile can be
0:49
saved and that's what he's preaching in
0:51
in Romans chapter n and so we want to
0:53
just get some keys to interpreting and
0:55
then leave it to you to go and study
0:57
those things out I've written a book
0:59

1:02

1:09
like to read the book we'll have a free
1:11
copy online over at our uh blog under
1:15
the uh completed book section Romans
1:18
chap 9:
1:21
1-6 I am speaking the truth in Christ I
1:24
am not lying my conscience testifies
1:26
with me in the holy spirit that I have
1:28
great sorrow and continual anguish in my
1:30
heart for I could wish that I myself
1:32
were a cursed from Christ for my
1:33
brothers my Kinsmen by race who are
1:35
Israelites to whom belong the adoption
1:38
the glory the covenants the giving of
1:40
the law the service of God and the
1:43
promises to whom belong the Patriarchs
1:45
and from whom according to the flesh is
1:47
Christ who is over all God forever
1:49
blessed amen so Paul starts off by
1:52
talking about his grief over the
1:54
unbelief of Israel they had the
1:56
scriptures they had the promises of God
1:59
and yet and they were promised Messiah
2:01
And yet when Messiah came and the New
2:02
Covenant came they rejected it so he
2:05
goes into verse 6 because there's a
2:06
problem with this it is not as though
2:08
the word of God has failed for they are
2:11
not all Israel who are descended from
2:13
Israel so he begins to talk about this
2:14
problem if God has promised to uh bring
2:18
Salvation and bring a New Covenant to
2:20
Israel but Israel rejects it then what
2:22
does that make of God's word so what are
2:24
some key passages to understanding this
2:26
if we flip back to Romans chapter 3
2:29
verse 1 through 3 we recognize that Paul
2:32
didn't just start this conversation in
2:34
Romans chapter 9 but he started it long
2:35
before starting verse one what advantage
2:38
then does the Jew have or what profit is
2:40
there in circumcision much in every way
2:43
chiefly because the Oracles of God were
2:45
usted to them this is what we read in
2:47
verse 1-5 what if some did not believe
2:50
would their unbelief nullify the
2:52
faithfulness of God God forbid let God
2:55
be true and every man a liar as it is
2:57
written that you may be justified in
2:59
your words and you may prevail in your
3:01
judging so if we flip back to Romans
3:03
chapter 9:6 it says it is not as though
3:05
the word of God has failed God promised
3:07
Israel a New Covenant when the New
3:10
Covenant came through Jesus Christ the
3:12
majority of Israel rejected so does that
3:14
ruin God's plan God says God forbid
3:17
their unfaithfulness will not nullify
3:20
the faithfulness of God and if we flip
3:22
back over to uh Romans Chapter 2 we can
3:26
see why this is the case verse 26
3:30
therefore if an uncircumcised man keeps
3:32
the righteousness of the law will not
3:34
his uncircumcision be counted as
3:36
circumcision will the uncircumcised one
3:38
who is righteous by Nature if he
3:40
fulfills the law not judge you who by
3:43
the letter of the law and circumcision
3:45
violate the law so here's a righteous
3:47
people they're living according to the
3:48
righteousness of the law they're not Liv
3:50
living according to the laws of Moses
3:52
but they're living according to the
3:53
righteousness that is found in that law
3:56
and they are walking and it says they
3:58
are righteous by nature but how could
3:59
can this be he goes on verse 28 he is
4:02
not a Jew who is one outwardly nor is
4:04
circumcision that which is external in
4:06
the flesh but he is a Jew who is one
4:09
inwardly and circumcision is of the
4:11
Heart by the spirit not by the letter
4:14
his praise is not from men but from God
4:16
this is the same thing Paul's going to
4:18
talk about in Romans chapter 8 but here
4:20
he's letting us know that Christians who
4:22
have the spirit of God that walk
4:24
according to the law of Christ putting
4:26
sin to death by the power of the Holy
4:27
Spirit they are the ones that are
4:29
counted as Jews counted as the true
4:31
Israel before God this is why we see in
4:33
Romans chapter 9: 6 it is not as though
4:36
the word of God is failed even though
4:38
Israel rejected God is still going to
4:40
fulfill his promises to Israel how for
4:44
they are not all Israel who are
4:46
descended from Israel that is they are
4:48
not all part of the people of God just
4:50
because they are descended and they're
4:52
from the natural lineage of Jacob so
4:55
when we look at Romans 9 1-6 and we we
4:59
take into account what Paul's already
5:00
said in Romans Chapter 2 and Romans
5:02
chapter 3 we understand what he's
5:05
talking about there's a problem Israel
5:07
was promised many things now those
5:08
things have come to pass but they have
5:10
rejected them but God is still faithful
5:12
he's still keeping his word and how is
5:14
he doing it because he's counting those
5:16
that trust in Jesus Christ receive the
5:18
spirit of God as his people and the
5:21
promises are fulfilled in them I hope
5:22
this has been helpful we'll go ahead and
5:24
continue this in the next video on this
5:26
series and we'll continue to go through
5:28
verse 6 through 9 God bless
5:31
