God's Conduct in the Salvation of Mankind
Romans 11:33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!


This is the conclusion of Paul's argument on this subject. He seems to be overwhelmed with the sense of its unsearchableness. The depths of God's wisdom and knowledge appear in —

I. THE MANIFESTATION OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE RESTORATION OF REBELS. Human monarchs have shown their justice in crushing rebels, but God in restoring them.

II. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SPIRIT OF REBELLION IN THE RESTORATION OF REBELS, Human monarchs may deliver rebels, but they cannot destroy the spirit of rebellion, God does this.

III. THE AUGMENTATION OF THE FORCE OF MORAL GOVERNMENT IN THE RESTORATION OF REBELS. Human monarchs may weaken their government by saving rebels, but God strengthens the force of His moral administration by redeeming transgressors.

IV. THE PROMOTION OF ALL THE RIGHTS OF HIS SUBJECTS IN THE RESTORATION OF REBELS. Human monarchs, by delivering rebels, endanger the rights of loyal citizens God, in the restoration of rebels, promotes the rights of all.

V. THE ELECTION OF EARTH INSTEAD OF HELL AS THE SCENE FOR THE RESTORATION OF REBELS.

(D. Thomas, D.D.)
