Video Description:
Does Romans 11 settle the debate over Israel and God’s chosen people—or is there more to Paul’s argument?
“Has God rejected His people? By no means!” But how does that answer fit with Abraham’s promised seed, the Church as God’s temple, and Jews and Gentiles becoming one in Christ?
In this Bible study, we examine Christian Zionism through Genesis, Acts, Corinthians, Ephesians, and Romans. Follow the passages as we explore:
- Who fulfills God’s promise to Abraham?
- Why does Peter describe Jesus as bringing Abraham’s blessing to Israel?
- Who is God’s temple in the New Testament?
- Why is Israel’s covenant language applied to the Church?
- How are Jewish and Gentile believers united in Christ?
- What does Romans 11 teach about the remnant and grace?
The discussion challenges a theological interpretation—not the dignity of Jewish people or anyone else. Keep your Bible open, follow the context, and examine the argument.
