- That God’s promises might fail is unthinkable, because they rest on His sovereign, gracious choice, not on anything in fallen humanity. God has not rejected His chosen people, but has preserved a remnant according to His gracious choice.

Jul 16, 2013 · Paul is arguing that the thought that God’s promises might fail because a majority of the Jews were rejecting Christ is simply unthinkable. God’s promises rest on His sovereign, gracious choice, not on anything in rebellious sinners.
Mar 31, 2023 · Occasionally, a promise isn’t fulfilled because it was a conditional promise and we didn’t meet our end of the bargain. But one thing is certain — promises are never broken because God is unable to accomplish that which He has set out to do. Nor are promises broken because God has lied. He is able. He is truthful.
Oct 12, 2024 · Ecclesiastes 5:5. “It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.” This verse offers wisdom in understanding that it’s better not to make a promise than to make one and fail to keep it. It highlights the seriousness of making commitments and the importance of follow-through.
None of God’s promises has ever failed! God has gone on record many times throughout His authoritative Word and has given us—His pilgrims passing through this world—“very great and precious promises” (2 Peter 1:4).

Prayer was requested one Sunday during our worship meeting for Torrey Robinson, one of our seminary students. Torrey was on his way to a city in the South for a summer internship when his Volkswagen developed engine trouble. We were asked to pray for the car repairs and Torrey’s safe arrival. As an aside, the man requesting prayer commented, “Maybe...
Paul has been dealing with the gospel as it relates to the Jews and the Gentiles. In his day, as in our own, the Jews have failed to attain righteousness before God, not because they failed to work at it but because they did work for it. Gentiles, on the other hand, attained righteousness because they did not work for it but simply received Christ’...
We shall view the structure of our text in light of the structure of the entire chapter. Verses 1-12 deal with Israel’s future, which is just as bright and just as certain as ever. Verses 13-32 are lessons Gentile believers should learn from Israel’s failures. Verses 33-36 contain Paul’s expression of praise and adoration, based upon God’s characte...
I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. The question Paul raises here is very logical. Israel’s hope for the future seems quite dim indeed. Israel has willfully and inexcusably rejected Jesus as her Messiah. While it is true that Israel has a...
God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed Thy prophets, they have torn down Thine altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.” But what is the divine response to him? “I have kept for Myself s...
What then? That which Israel is seeking for, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened; just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes to see not and ears to hear not, down to this very day.” And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a stumbling block and a retributi...
I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. Now if their transgression be riches for the world and their failure be riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be! The best part is yet to come. Paul has demonstrated ...
Israel’s present condition is the result of God’s sovereign choice (chapter 9) and Israel’s willful decision to disobey God and to reject His Messiah (chapter 10). Her guilt is inexcusable. But her future blessings are nonetheless certain, because they are based upon God’s sovereign grace and not on human merit (works). Israel’s present dullness of...
Have you ever thought through the Bible considering its emphasis on failure in proportion to its emphasis on success? The Bible speaks far more about failure than success. For example, Genesis begins with the failure of man in the Garden of Eden. From this point on, man’s failure is more prominent than man’s success. Chapters 28-32 of Deuteronomy s...
The Bible underscores the gravity of making and breaking promises, urging us to tread carefully, understanding the weight our words carry. God, in His unwavering faithfulness, provides a stellar example of keeping promises, encouraging us to mirror His steadfastness in our dealings.
Apr 3, 2020 · God has consistently kept His promise to Abraham, and that gives us absolute assurance that He will keep it in the future. The turmoil over Israel's right to its land will not cease till the end, for the land provision of the Abrahamic covenant is at the core of the hatred of Middle Eastern nations for Israel today.
