• What God Has Done
  • Israel as a nation has not obtained righteousness and salvation
  • The elect remnant within the nation has obtained righteousness and salvation
  • The rest of the nation was blinded and made deaf to the Truth
• The Righteousness that Comes from God
  • The wrong approach of the Jews
    • Self-righteousness
      • Through the law
      • Through works
      • Through ceremony
      • Through human morality
    • Man —standard of righteousness
      • Not according to God's Word
      • Not acceptable to God's Isa 53:6
    • The expectation of reward
      • "Look at me"
      • "Give me favor"
    • The wrong approach is not innocent
      • There is no broken-hearted sorrow over sin
      • There is little attention to truth, mercy, and justice " Mat 23:25; 12:35, 15:19
  • God's approach for His elect to have righteousness and salvation
    • It is according to the election by grace
    • It is by predestination
    • It is by the adequate atonement of Christ
    • It is by the application of the atonement and election to the chosen
    • It is by the gift of faith which causes the elect to come to Christ and trust Him for salvation
      • We hurt because of our sin
      • We long for righteousness and salvation
    • Any coming, any seeking, any turning, any repentance on our part is the response to God's grace already given to us
