Living Sacrifice 15
God made promises to Israel -- Rom 11:1-6 asks has God's word failed? Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin: his point was that God hasn't rejected His people because he is an example of the remnant (Rom 11:1-2, Phi 3:3-8). "foreknew" in Rom 11:2 is first used in Acts 2:23; God chose Israel in eternity past because He foreknew His predetermined plan (in the sense of accomplishment of His plan) (Heb 13:8). God knew ahead of time and He sees it as accomplished (Rom 8:29, 1Pe 1:1-2, Rev 13:8, Rev 17:8). Elijah as example in intercession (Rom 11:2-3, 1Ki 19:14); God's reply is that He has kept a remnant for Himself (Rom 11:4-5). The remnant exists for God in His sovereignty will, but those who are in the remnant have responded to God -- "according to His election of grace" (Rom 11:5, Eph 2:8). "If by grace then no more of works" it can't be both (Rom 11:6).
