Romans 11:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 11:26

24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be ^awise in your own opinion, that ^bblindness in part has happened to Israel ^cuntil the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

26 And so all Israel will be¹ saved, as it is written:
^a“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

27 For ^athis is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”

28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are ^abeloved for the sake of the fathers.

29 For the gifts and the calling of God are ^airrevocable.

30 For as you ^awere once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

Romans 11:26-29

Another way of saying that would be that the privileges and invitation of God can never be withdrawn. God has a commitment to Israel because of the obedience of one man—Abraham! One man's obedience 4,000 years ago is having impact on your life right at this very moment. We live in Israel, and God gave this land to us because of Abraham's obedience. We are reaping the blessings of that physically. We are reaping the blessings spiritually—because it is in Israel that God's gospel has been preached by far and away the most effectively.
