Life From The Dead

Life From the Dead

Romans 11:15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?

Here Paul reaffirms the same observation made in verse 12. It is not by accident any of this happened. It did not surprise God that Israel largely rejected the Gospel, in fact, it was God’s providential arrangement that caused them to do so, and He used it to bring about the salvation of His elect in the rest of the world.

As a prearranged effect of the Jews unbelief, Christ gave the glorious command: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). In Acts 13:46 we have the playing out, in the every day lives of God’s preachers, of this cause and effect that God ordained: Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Now Paul argues that if God can use the unbelief of the Jews as a means of blessing the Gentiles, what if He is pleased to reveal Himself to the Jews? Is He not able to bring about great blessings by that secondary cause also? Paul observes how God works in providence to bring about the salvation of His elect and wonders and rejoices in it. God uses many secondary causes in His bringing in of His sheep, and we also rejoice. In specific cases, sometimes great hardship in someone’s life can cause them to seek Christ and hear the Gospel. The woman with the issue of blood was such a one. In the case of the Philippian jailer, it was the imprisonment of a couple of God’s preachers that resulted in life from the spiritually dead. All of His intricate providential arrangements serve His purpose of grace in Christ, toward His loved ones.
