All can be saved? Explain! Romans 11:28-36, 12:1

This week’s lesson “Concern of God” is based on Romans 11, but the conclusion of chapter 11 is found in Romans 12:1. For Step 5, I’ll make the point that it is only reasonable, or logical, that we serve God. He will have mercy on all who are to be saved.

The homework guide asks us to list attributes of God identified in verses 33-36. I’m leaning toward doing that in class as an exercise and explaining the cycle of God given in verse 36. In all things He gives blessing. He then operates in all things. All things end up in Him. His ways are unsearchable! All people can be saved even though we cannot fathom how God works to accomplish it! Rick Warren said, “It’s like trying to explain the Internet to an ant.” Or even easier, after watching this video, try explaining a man passing thru solid glass.
