In Romans 9:27-33, the apostle Paul quotes Isaiah to explain why the Jews could not reach salvation by pursuing the law, since it must be pursued by faith. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches why only a remnant of Jews believe in Jesus, why it is a great grace that some Jews are saved, and why so many Jews are not saved.
“Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works.”
