Scripture

Romans 11:33-36

Icebreaker Question

Describe a moment when you encountered something so vast or magnificent that it left you speechless. What made it unforgettable?

  1. As you consider Romans 9–11, why do you think Paul ends with worship instead of further explanation? What does verse 33 show about how doctrine should shape devotion?
  2. How do Romans 9–10 help explain why Paul praises God’s wisdom in verses 33–34? What does this reveal about our limitations and God’s sovereignty?
  3. How does verse 35 expose the prideful assumption that God “owes” us something? How does this shape our understanding of salvation in Romans 11?
  4. How does Paul’s statement in verse 36— “from Him and through Him and to Him are all things”—summarize God’s purposes in Romans 9–11, and how should it shape our own lives?
