Irrevocable call

We’ll learn in this lesson “Concern of God” based on Romans 11 that God has not given up on unbelieving Jews. They did not stumble beyond recovery.

Paul uses the illustration of bread dough to explain the mystery that God has saved some Jews already and will restore others after the “full number of Gentiles has come in.” The idea is that the first part is like the whole. Those who have received grace already are the forerunners of the remainder that will be saved later. Based on this, how do you describe the concern of God?

Paul also uses the illustration of grafting tree branches to explain how Gentiles are made part of tree whose root is Jesus Christ. Has God given up on certain people you know? If we are growing to be like Christ, what should our concern be?

I found the Exciting Bible Study for Romans 11 by David Williams and the study questions from Net Bible Institute posted on the web. They might be useful to you. I'll start with a PPT slide.
