1. They are not all Israel who are of Israel Romans 9:6

They are the seed of Abraham Romans 9:7

These are not children of God Romans 9:8

As the seed Romans 9:8

Might stand, not of works but of Him who calls Romans 9:11

who were not My people Romans 9:25

As the sand of the sea
The remnant shall be saved Romans 9:27
