Many Blessings

Many Blessings – Rom 9:4-6

Vs 4 – Israel has had so many blessings.  Adoption as sons, divine glory, the covenants, they received the Law, they had temple worship and all the promises.  This was Israel’s privilege and blessing.

Vs 5 -  Israel had the Patriarch’s, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  From them the human ancestry of Jesus can be traced.  Paul then makes a declaration, “Jesus Christ is God over all, forever praised. Amen.”  If anyone had any doubt of the deity of Christ this statement makes it clear.  Jesus Christ is God over all, forever amen.

Vs 6 – It is not because the Word of God failed that all whom are from Israel are Israel.  Paul is about to get into a subject about who are true Israel.  It is not necessary to be Israel by birth or ancestry.
