26Who Are You To Reply Against God? Rejecting the
plan Rom 930-103
"Who Are You To Reply Against God?"
Rejecting The Promise of God.
Romans 930-32 101-3 (NKJV) What shall
we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue
righteousness, have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness of faith 31 but Israel,
pursuing the law of righteousness, has not
attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Why?
Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it
were, by the works of the law . . . 1
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for
Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear
them witness that they have a zeal for God, but
not according to knowledge. 3 For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to
establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted to the righteousness of God.
By rejecting the plan of God they wererejecting
the promise of God.
