In our previous message, we looked at Israel's past election. Today, we look at Israel's present rejection. What we will learn is that their rejection is based on their refusal to submit to the righteousness of God. Rather than coming by faith, they sought to approach God by works of the law. They stumbled over the Chief Corner Stone (Jesus Christ). Divine sovereignty and human responsibility are not mutually exclusive. The Bible teaches both, and Romans 9 & 10 are perfect examples of how these are both true.
