XIII. {Rom 11:33-36} Paul’s conclusion on his vindication section
A. Introduction
1. Review — In chapters 9,10, & 11 Paul has shown one is saved by the LOC, as the LOM fortold. Saying such did not make him an enemy of the LOM or the LOM Disciple.

The LOM Disciple is lost but does not have to stay lost; they just have to accept Jesus and his law, the gospel.
