1) God knows all there is to know about all things. The depth of God’s knowledge is incomprehensible. Robertson wrote, “Paul’s argument concerning God’s …goodness has carried him to the heights and now he pauses on the edge of the precipice as he contemplates God’s wisdom and knowledge, fully conscious of his inability to sound the bottom with the plummet of human reason and words.” (Robertson p. This reminds me of (Proverbs 20:5) “ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water but a man of understanding will draw it out.” If counsel in the heart of man is like a deep well, how much deeper is the wisdom of God.
(Deuteronomy 29:29) “ The secret things belong unto the LORD our God…” (Colossians 2:3) “ In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.“ 2) Solomon wrote, (Proverbs 2:6) “ For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.“ 3) God’s wisdom is far deeper than we can possibly comprehend.
The depth of God’s wisdom is incomprehensible. God’s wisdom and knowledge are praiseworthy.Ī.Warren Wiersbe adds, “Having contemplated God’s great plan of salvation for Jews and Gentiles, all Paul could do was sing a hymn of praise.” Bible Expository Commentary 1:553 Transition: This morning, I want us to focus our attention on the doxology in Romans 11:33-36, that we too might sing it. Thus, he concluded this section with a doxology to God – A paragraph of praise to God for His greatness. All that God has done for us is overwhelming. So far in the book of Romans, Paul explained God’s Righteousness Needed (Ro 1:18-3:20) Provided (Ro 3:21-5:21) Imparted (Ro 6:1-7:25) Assured (Ro 8:1-39) and Vindicated as he dealt with Israel in their Past Election, in their Present Rejection, and in their Future Salvation (Ro 9:1-11:36). During the Tribulation, many of the Jews will believe on Christ and be saved (v.26). The moment that the last Gentle that God foreknows will be saved trusts Christ the fullness of the Gentiles will end. Israel’s blindness is only temporary until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. If the Gentiles did not continue to believe, God could easily cut off their branches and again graft in Israel’s branches (v.22-23). Paul reminded the Gentiles that if God cut off Israel as branches on His olive tree and grafted in Gentile branches, they must not boast (v.17-18). Israel dropped the ball and the Gentiles picked it up and took possession of it however, Israel did not quit and leave the field. God’s desire is that the salvation of Gentiles might provoke the Jews to jealousy. Instead, through their rejection, salvation is offered to the Gentiles.
They have not fallen from God’s care (v.11). As Romans 11 opens, Paul assures us that God did not cast away his people (v.1). God said in Romans 10:17, “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” However, Israel as a nation rejected Christ’s offer. The Wisdom and Knowledge of God 10 July 2022 AM – Romans 11:33-36 – Rom2022 – Scott Childs Introduction: In Romans 10, Israel had heard the way of righteousness by faith, but they rejected it.
