5. The Book of Romans
Our Goal
“The Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.
Ang Ating Mithiin. “Ang Sulat ay talagang pangunahing bahagi ng Bagong Tipan, at ang pinakadalisay na Ebanghelyo, at nararapat na di lang kelangang malaman ng bawat Kristiyano ito nang buumbuo at isinasaulo, kundi maging abala rito araw-araw, bilang pang-araw-araw na tinapay ng kaluluwa.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.

Lesson 11, December 16
The Elect
Ang Pinili

7. The Elect
Key Text
Romans 11:1
“I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.”
Susing Talata. “Sinasabi ko nga, itinakuwil ba ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan? Huwag nawang mangyari. Sapagkat ako man ay Israelita, mula sa binhi ni Abraham, mula sa lipi ni Benjamin” (Roma 11:1).

8. basic plan of salvation never does.
The Elect
Initial Words
There is no corporate rejection of anyone for salvation. “There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek” (Rom. 10:12)—all are sinners and all need God’s grace. This grace comes to all—not by nationality, not by birth, and not by works of the law but by faith in Jesus. Roles may change, but the
basic plan of salvation never does.
Panimulang Salita. Walang pangkalahatang pagtatakwil ng sinuman para sa kaligtasan. “Walang pagkakaiba ang Judio at ang Griyego” (Roma 10:12)—lahat ay makasalanan at nangangailangan ng biyaya ng Diyos. Ang biyayang ito’y dumarating sa lahat—hindi dahil sa nasyonalidad, hindi sa pagkapanganak, at hindi sa pagsunod samga gawa ng kautusan kundi sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Jesus. Maaring magbago ang mga papel, ngunit ang pangunahing panukala ng kaligtasan kelanman ay hindi magbabago.

9. 1. Israel Rejects Christ (Romans 10:1-4)
The Election of Grace
Quick Look
1. Israel Rejects Christ (Romans 10:1-4)
2. Israel’s Rejection Not Total (Romans 11:1-24)
3. Promise of Israel’s Restoration (Romans 11:25-36)
1. Tinatanggihan ng Israel si Cristo (Roma 10:1-4)
2. Hindi Lubusan ang Pagkakatanggi sa Israel (Roma 11:1-24)
3. Pangako ng Pagsasauli ng Israel (Roma 11:25-36)

10. The Elect
1. Israel Rejects Christ
Romans 10:1-4 NKJV
“They have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
1. Tinatanggihan ng Israel si Cristo. “Sila’y may sigasig para sa Diyos, subalit hindi ayon sa kaalaman. Sapagkat sa kanilang pagiging mangmang sa katuwiran ng Diyos, at sa pagsisikap nilang maitayo ang sariling pagiging matuwid ay hindi sila nagpasakop sa pagiging matuwid ng Diyos. ¶ Sapagkat si Cristo ang kinauuwian ng kautusan upang maging matuwid ang bawat sumasampalataya” (Roma 10:1-4).

11. Legalism can come in many forms, some more subtle than others.
Israel Rejects Christ
Christ and the Law
Legalism can come in many forms,
some more subtle than others.
Those who look to themselves, to
their good deeds, to their diet, to how strictly they keep the Sabbath, to all the bad things they don’t do, or to the good things that they have achieved—even with the best of intentions—are falling into the trap of legalism.
Si Cristo at ang Kautusan. Ang legalismo ay maaring duating sa iba’t-ibang porma, ang ilan ay mas di-halata kaysa iba. ¶ Yung tumitingin sa kanilang sariling mabubuting gawa, sa kanilang kinakain, sa kung paanong istriktong iningatan nila ang Sabbath, sa lahat ng masasamang di nila ginagawa, o sa mabubuting nagawa nila—kahit na ito’y may pinakamabuting intensyon—ay nahuhulog sa patibong ng legalismo.

12. Every moment of our lives, we must keep before us the holiness of God
Israel Rejects Christ
Christ and the Law
Every moment of our lives, we must
keep before us the holiness of God
in contrast to our sinfulness;
that’s the surest way to protect ourselves from the kind of thinking that leads people into seeking their “own righteousness,”
which is contrary to the
righteousness of Christ.
Kinakailangan natin na sa bawat sandali ng ating buhay ay panatilihin natin sa ating harapan ang kabanalan ng kataliwas sa pagiging makasalanan natin; ¶ ito ang pinakasiguradong paraan para maingatan ang sarili mula sa uri ng pag-iisip na nagdadala sa tao na hanapin ang “sariling katuwiran” nila, na kontra sa katuwiran ni Cristo.

13. Christ is the “end” of the law (Greek teloes, “goal” or “purpose”).
Israel Rejects Christ
Christ and the Law
The moral law points out our sins, our faults, and our shortcomings and thus leads us to our need of a Savior, our need of forgiveness, our need of righteousness, all of which are found only in Jesus.
Christ is the “end” of the law (Greek teloes, “goal” or “purpose”).
Itinuturo ng kautusang moral ang ating mga kasalanan, ang ating mga kamalian, at ang ating mga kakulangan at sa gayon ay inaakay tayo sa pangangailangan natin ng isang Tagapagligtas, ng kapatawaran, at ng katuwiran, na ang lahat ng mga ito’y makikita lang kay Jesus. ¶ Si Cristo ang “katapusan” ng kautusan (Griyego teloes, “mithiin” o “layunin” ¶ Si Cristo ang pangwakas na layunin ng kautusan, dahil sa ang kautusan ang magdadala sa atin kay Cristo.
Christ is the final purpose of the law, in that the law is to lead us to Jesus.

14. The Election of Grace
2. Israel’s Rejection Not Total
Romans 11:1, 5 AMP
“I say then, has God rejected and disowned His people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
So too then, at the present time there has come to be a remnant [a small believing minority], according to God’s gracious choice.”
2. Hindi Lubos ang Pagkatanggi sa Israel. “Sinasabi ko kung gayon, itinakwil at itinatwa ba ng Diyos ang Kanyang bayan? Tiyak hindi! Sapagkat ako rin ay isang Israelita, isang inapo ni Abraham, kaanib ng tribu ni Benjamin. ¶ Kaya ganun din, sa kapanahunang ito ay may naging isang nalabi [isang maliit na naniniwalang minoridad], ayon sa mabuting pagpili ng Diyos” (Roma 11:1, 5).

15. 2. Israel’s Rejection Not Total
The Election of Grace
In his first answer to the question, “Hath God cast away his people?” Paul points to a remnant, an election of grace, as proof that God has not cast away His people. Salvation is open for all who accept it, Jew and Gentile alike.
The early converts to Christianity were all Jews—for example, the group that was converted on the Day of Pentecost.
Ang Pagkahirang ng Biyaya. Sa unang ng sagot niya sa tanong na, “Itinakwil ba ng Diyos ang Kanyang bayan?” itinuro ni Pablo ang isang nalabi, isang pagkahirang ng biyaya, bilang katunayan na hindi itinakwil ng Diyos ang Kanyang bayan. Ang kaligtasan ay bukas sa lahat ng tatanggap nito, Judio man o Hentil. ¶ Ang mga unang hikayat sa Kristiyanismo ay lahat Judio—halimbawa, ang grupong nahikayat noong Araw ng Pentecostes.

16. What appears to be a casting away is only a temporary situation.
2. Israel’s Rejection Not Total
The Natural Branch
Two parallel expressions: (1) “their [the Israelites’] fullness” (vs. 12), and (2) “the receiving of them [the Israelites]” (vs. 15).
The diminishing and the casting away to be only temporary and to be followed by fullness and reception.
This is Paul’s second answer.
What appears to be a casting away
is only a temporary situation.
Magkatapat na mga pananalita: (1) “kapunuan nila [Israelita]” (talatang 12), at (2) “pagtanggap sa kanila [Israelita]” (talatang 15). ¶ Ang pag-uunti at pagtatakwil ay magiging pansamantala lang at masusundan ito ng kapunuan at pagtanggap. Ito ang pangalawang sagot ni Pablo. ¶ Ang lumilitaw na pagkakatakwil ay pansamantalang kalagayan lang.

17. The root and trunk are still there.
2. Israel’s Rejection Not Total
The Grafted Branch
Paul likens the faithful remnant in Israel to a noble olive tree, some of whose branches have been broken off to prove that “God hath not cast away his people.”
The root and trunk are still there.
Into this tree the believing Gentiles have been grafted. But they are drawing their sap and vitality from the root and trunk, which represent believing Israel.
Isinanib na Sanga. Inihahalintulad ni Pablo ang tapat na nalabi sa Israel sa isang napakagandang puno ng olibo, na may ilang pinutol na sanga—isang ilustrasyon para patunayan na “hindi itinakwil ng Diyos ang Kanyang bayan.” ¶ Ang ugat at katawan ay naroroon pa. ¶ Sa punong ito idinugtong ang mga mananampalatayang Hentil. Ngunit kinukuha nila ang katas at lakas nila mula sa ugat at puno, na kumakatawan sa naniniwalang Israel.

18. “For I do not desire, brethren,
The Election of Grace
3. Promise of Israel’s Restoration
Romans 11:25, 26 NKJV
“For I do not desire, brethren,
that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise
in your own opinion, that hardening
in part has happened to Israel until
the fullness of the Gentiles has
come in.
And so all Israel will be saved….”
3. Ang Pangako ng Pagsasauli ng Israel. “Sapagkat di ko ibig, mga kapatid, na kayo’y maging mangmang sa hiwagang ito, baka kayo’y magmarunong sa inyong akala, na ang pagmamatigas ay nangyari sa isang bahagi ng Israel hanggang makapasok ang buong bilang ng mga Hentil. ¶ Sa ganoon ang buong Israel ay maliligtas....” (Roma 11:25, 26).

19. The whole tenor here is that of God reaching out to the Jews.
3. Promise of Israel’s Restoration
All Israel Shall Be Saved
The whole tenor here is that of
God reaching out to the Jews.
“Hath God cast away his people?”
Paul’s answer is no, and his explanation is (1) that the blindness (Greek porosis, “hardness”) is only “in part,” and (2) that it is only temporary, “until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.”
Isang Hiwagang Ibinunyag. Ang buung tono ng usapan dito ay ang panawagan ang Diyos sa mga Judio. ¶ “Itinakwil ba ng Diyos ang Kanyang bayan?” ¶ Ang sagot ni Pablo ay hindi, at ang kanyang paliwanag ay (1) na ang pagkabulag (Griyego porosis, “katigasan”) ay “”isang bahagi” lang, at (2) pansamantala lang ito, “hanggang sa pumasok ang kapunuan ng mga Hentil.”

20. 3. Promise of Israel’s Restoration
All Israel Shall Be Saved
What does “the fullness of the Gentiles” mean? “The fullness of the Gentiles”
has come in when the gospel has been preached everywhere. The faith of Israel, manifested in Christ, is universalized.
The gospel has been preached to all the world. The coming of Jesus is near. At this point, then, many Jews start coming to Jesus.
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “ang kapunuan ng mga Hentil?” “Ang kapunuan ng mga Henti”ay dumating kapag naipangaral na ang ebanghelyo sa lahat ng lugar. Ang pananampalataya ng Israel, na nahayag kay Cristo ay naging panlahat. ¶ Ang ebanghelyo ay naipangaral sa buong sanlibutan. Malapit na ang pagdating ni Jesus. Kung gayon, sa puntong ito, maraming Judio ang nagpapasimulang lumapit kay Jesus.

21. Another difficult point is the meaning
3. Promise of Israel’s Restoration
All Israel Shall Be Saved
Another difficult point is the meaning
of “all Israel shall be saved” (11:26).
Nowhere do the Scriptures preach universalism, either for the entire human race or for a particular segment.
Paul was hoping to save “some of them” (11:14).
Some accepted the Messiah, and some rejected Him, as it is with all people.
Isa pang mahirap na punto ay ang kahulugan ng “ang buong Israel ay maliligtas” (11:26). ¶ Wala saan man sa Kasulatan ang ipinangangaral ang unibersalismo, alinman na para sa buong lahi ng tao o para sa isang partikular na bahagi. Umaasa si Pablo na mailigtas “ang ilan sa kanila” (11:14). ¶ May tatanggapin ang Mesiyas, at may tatangihan Siya, gaya nang sa lahat ng tao.

22. How crucial, then, that all Christians, display that mercy to others.
The Elect
Final Words
God’s mercy and love and grace
are poured out upon sinners.
From even before the foundation of the world, God’s plan was to save humanity and to use other human beings, nations even, as instruments
in His hands to fulfill His divine will.
How crucial, then, that all Christians, display that mercy to others.
Huling Pananalita. Ang awa at pag-ibig at biyaya ng Diyos ay ibinuhos sa mga makasalanan. ¶ Magmula pa sa pundasyon ng sanlibutan, ang panukala ng Diyos ay iligtas ang sangkatauhan at gamitin ang ibang tao, kahit pa mga bansa, bilang mga instrumento sa Kanyang kamay para matupad ang Kanyang kalooban. ¶ Gaano kakritikal, kung gayon, na ang lahat ng mga Kristiyano ay ipakita ang awa na ‘yon sa iba.
