En el sermón titulado "(3' parte) ¿Todo Israel será salvo?", Joel Coyoc aborda la compleja relación entre Israel y la salvación en el contexto de Romanos 11:25-32. El predicador argumenta que, aunque muchos en Israel han rechazado al Mesías, Dios siempre ha mantenido un remanente escogido por gracia, lo que demuestra su fidelidad y soberanía. Coyoc destaca que la salvación es por gracia y no por obras, mencionando la necesidad de la humildad y la fe para evitar la arrogancia en los creyentes. Las escritura, como Romanos 11:26 ("Y luego, todo Israel será salvo"), se utiliza para mostrar que la salvación no depende de descendencia física, sino de la elección divina y la gracia, enfatizando el llamamiento irrevocable de Dios. Este entendimiento tiene una gran importancia doctrinal, ya que asegura que la salvación está disponible tanto a judíos como a gentiles, y reitera la necesidad de una postura humilde ante Dios, reconociendo que todos están en necesidad de su misericordia.

The Bible teaches that all Israel will be saved as part of God's sovereign plan.
According to Romans 11:25-32, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that God has not rejected His people Israel. Rather, a remnant has been chosen by grace, and while Israel has experienced a temporary hardening in part, there is hope for their full restoration. Paul states that 'all Israel will be saved,' indicating that God's promises to Israel are irrevocable, based not on their works but solely on His grace. This salvation comes through the Messiah, who will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Romans 11:25-32
Salvation is assured by God's unchanging grace, as seen in Scripture.
The assurance of salvation through grace is articulated in Romans 11, where Paul explains that grace and works cannot coexist in securing salvation. If salvation were by works, it would no longer be grace (Romans 11:6). The remnant of Israel chosen by grace exemplifies God's sovereignty and the unmerited nature of His mercy. Believers today rest in this same grace, knowing that their salvation is dependent solely on Christ's finished work, not on their own merit or efforts.
Romans 11:6, Romans 11:32
The election of grace underscores that salvation is not based on human merit but divine choice.
The concept of election by grace is critical in understanding the nature of salvation. It emphasizes that God has the right to choose whom He will save, independent of any human effort or descent (Romans 11:5). This reinforces that salvation is a result of God's sovereign plan, ensuring that no one can boast in their own works (Ephesians 2:8-9). For Christians, this doctrine brings humility and awe at the realization of God's mercy, as salvation is displayed not based on lineage or personal achievement but through God's gracious choice.
Romans 11:5, Ephesians 2:8-9
This phrase indicates God's ultimate plan for the salvation of His chosen people.
'All Israel will be saved' is a profound declaration found in Romans 11:26, affirming that there is a future restoration for Israel as part of God’s covenant promises. This does not suggest universalism but indicates that the elect within Israel—those chosen by grace—will be redeemed. It reassures believers of the faithfulness of God to fulfill His promises, reflecting His enduring commitment to His people. The phrase serves not only as a hope for Israel but also as an encouragement for Gentiles, affirming the comprehensive nature of God's saving plan.
Romans 11:26
Israel's rejection opened the door for Gentile salvation, illustrating God's inclusive grace.
In Romans 11, Paul reveals a divine rationale for Israel's rejection, noting that it allowed for the salvation of the Gentiles (Romans 11:11). This paradoxical outcome underscores God's ultimate sovereignty and wisdom, where rejection leads to the proclamation of the gospel to the nations. God's intention to provoke Israel to jealousy illustrates His relentless pursuit of His people and His desire to extend grace to all humanity. Through this, Paul emphasizes that both Jews and Gentiles are equally in need of God's mercy, which is available only through faith in Jesus Christ.
Romans 11:11-12
