Romans 11 Commentary

Bible Text: Romans 11:25-36 (ESV)

25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

“The Deliverer will come from Zion,

    he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

27 “and this will be my covenant with them

    when I take away their sins.”

28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,

    or who has been his counselor?”

35 “Or who has given a gift to him

    that he might be repaid?”

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Reflection Questions

Romans 11:28-36

  • In this passage, describing the mystery of God’s continuing faithfulness to Israel, are the words: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Reflect on what this reveals about the nature of God, my own salvation, and God’s call upon my life.
  • What are God’s gifts and his call that pertain to me?  
  • Thank God for the fact that the truly important things depend on God’s irrevocable faithfulness, and not on my own constancy or efforts.
