But what was the divine response to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal.”

What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened,

as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day.”

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion; he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment

For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we preach),
