Romans 11 — A Doxology of God's Wisdom

Paul shows that God has not rejected Israel; a remnant stands by grace, and salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous — leading to the chapter's great doxology.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew — there is a remnant chosen by grace, just as in Elijah's day.

Some branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive, were grafted in — do not be arrogant, but stand in awe.

A partial hardening has come on Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in — and so all Israel will be saved.

The doxology: "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments… From him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever."
