Present Condition of Israel

30 What shall we say then? aThat Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, beven the righteousness of faith;  
31 but Israel, apursuing the law of righteousness, bhas not attained to the law of righteousness.  
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were,1 by the works of the law. For athey stumbled at that stumbling stone.  
33 As it is written:
a“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And bwhoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

Romans 9:32

Romans 9:32 Wherefore? Why this failure on the part of Israel? Not because God willed that they should be rejected, not because of any foreordination, but because of their unbelief in Christ. Because [they sought it] not by faith. Sought not the righteousness that comes from faith in Christ, but a righteousness of works by keeping the law of Moses. They stumbled at the stumblingstone. At faith in Christ, in a Crucified Christ. This is one cause of Israel's failure. This is the one cause of Israel's failure. They fell through unbelief.
