This passage lets us know that there is still a remnant in Israel who will be saved. God has not totally cast aside His chosen people but the opportunity for salvation is still extended to them. Salvation is just as much available to the Jew as it is to the Gentile. God does not desire that anyone should be lost , therefore He extends His grace to all. We must remember that it is Gods grace which enables us to receive His salvation. We did not desire even the opprotunity for salvation but Jesus made this possible.

Read Romans11:7–10. Is Paul saying that God purposely blinded to salvation the part of Israel that rejected Jesus? What 's wrong with that idea?

As we have learned our choices have consequences. This passage in not saying that God purposely blinded the eyes of the Isrealites who rejected Christ but He let them experience the consequences of that choice. We must also remember that this is not talking about personal salvation.

What is so wrong with the idea that God has rejected en masse any group of people in terms of salvation? Why is that counter to the whole teaching of
the gospel, which at the core shows that Christ died to save all human beings? How, for example, in the case of the Jews, has this idea led to tragic results?

This would lead people to believe that if I am lost already then what is point of anything. I aso believe that this would cause a rift between the Christian and the Jew. It would also even call into question the character of God. We must seek Gods wisdom and ask for His help in these delicate matters.

Prayer : Father we thank you for your grace which you have extended to us. Help us to understand this from your scriptures. I pray that you use us all to daily offer your gift of salvation to all. Thank you in Jesus name amen.
