Romans 11:28-36

Paul comes to the end of his great treatise on the doctrine of salvation. God has taken this brilliant, well educated, skilled man and anointed him to put in writing for the entire world God's great gift of salvation. A gift available to all mankind through the amazing sacrifice of His only begotten Son Jesus. The theology presented by Paul is overwhelming and outstanding. Paul as he catches his breath from this great work suddenly breaks out in a hymn of praise. As it has been said, the great theology that Paul has laid out before us now turns to doxology.What Paul declares to us in this doxology should leave us all breathless regardless of how many times we read it. Paul does his absolute best to describe for us the greatness of God. Again, inspired by the Hopy Spirit, he does an outstanding job. Yet God's greatness has no bounds, no limits. The more we realize the greatness of God the greater He becomes.Paul concludes this great doxology by declaring, "for of Him and through Him and to Him are all things". This concluding statement may well be one of if not the greatest statements in the bible. It is written in the simplest of terms yet the depth, the expanse of its meaning is boundless. For all of eternity we will forever be learning the greatness of God.To God be the glory forever!

Chapter 11
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
