HAS GOD'S WORD FAILED? (9:6-13)

John 14:6 and 15:16 (NIV)(Divine Sovereignty)

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

2 Peter 1:10-11 (NIV)(Human Responsibility)

  Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do

these things, (note verses 3-9) you will never stumble, and you will receive

a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

WHY GENTILES AND NOT ISRAELITES? HOW WILL THEY KNOW? (9:30-10:21)

1 Corinthians 9:20-24 (NIV)

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
