Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he redirects the question and approaches the issue from God’s perspective.

Salvation cannot be lost. But many presume upon God’s grace without ever recognizing their need for a Savior or putting their faith in Christ. Paul speaks a strong warning to those who assume that God has chosen them because of who they are, rather than what Christ has done for them.

Paul talks about a redemptive jealousy that ends in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

God has blessed us immeasurably. But if we don’t become disciples of Jesus and set our hearts to honor him, then these very blessings will become curses. If we misuse what God has given us, it becomes harmful to us. God is looking for much more than outward rituals. He wants our hearts.

Paul argues in Romans that we are not alone.

God has promised to be faithful to us. But it seems as though God rejected the Israelites. If he rejected them, how can we trust him to keep his promises to us? Paul argues that we can completely trust God because he has, indeed, kept all of his promises to his people.
