Romans 11:1-7, 28, 29

Romans 11:1-7 NIV

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.

And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.

Romans 11:29 NIV

for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
