A Spirit of Stupor

A Spirit of Stupor – Rom 11:6-7

Vs 7 – Paul then asks another question, “Now what or what then?”  Israel sought earnestly to possess what they did not possess, but the elect or those who made themselves chosen by listening and obeying the world of God did possess.  Their hearts became harden because salvation is by grace and not by works.

Vs 8 – It is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so they could not see and ears so they could not hear to this very day.  Their refusal of the Messiah gave them the ability not to hear, see or understand.  Rejection leads to spiritual stupor.  Rejection also leads to eternal damnation.  This is not a condition or place that any one should be in.  As a Christian we should pray that those in our world would have their eyes open and see the wonderful love and grace of God.  Especially those with in our family circle.  Claim the promise of Acts 16:31, which states that not only shall we be saved but those in our household as well.
