Lessons I took from Romans 9-11

God is in control, and we are not!

We must bring the gospel to all people because we do not know who is hardened and who will be shown mercy.

As creation we have no right to talk back to the Creator.

I am a child of God not because of anything in me but by faith given out of mercy and compassion shown to me because of my disobedience.

If we are saved, faith must fill our hearts and mouths as we submit to God’s righteousness. Self-righteousness has no place in believers’ lives.

God uses His people to make His word known.

People do not have to seek God to find Him; He makes Himself known.

God will always reserve a remnant for Himself by His grace.

We should never have pride in our status with God. We have no right to be called sons of God. It is an undeserved gift. He owes us nothing. God is to be feared.

We will never fully understand God, His knowledge, wisdom, judgment, paths, His mind. We should forever praise Him for His glory that is unfathomable.
