NOTE: There will be no Bible Study on Thursday, March 4. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Does/will God save the Jews who do not believe in Christ? (See Paul’s answer in 11:25-29)
Why does Paul believe that some Jews are “enemies” of the Gospel despite their divine election? (cf. 11:28) Why then should Gentiles continue to be faithful to the Gospel?
What does this mean for inter-religious dialogue and relationship between Jews and Christians? (See Paul’s discussion in 11:17-24)
Do you / have you ever known a faithful Jew? If so, what have you learned from him/her? What do you hope s/he has learned from you?
Why is it so important to Paul to emphasize God’s relationship with the Jews? What implications does he understand God’s relationships with the people of Israel to have for Christians?
Do you trust God? How is / would your life be different because of your trust in God?
What stumbling blocks do you encounter that make it difficult for you to trust God? How do Paul’s words in these chapters give strength and encouragement to you as you stumble?
What do you make of the “divine election” that Paul speaks of? To what has God elected us? How does/should this effect the way we live our lives? The way we relate to others?
