Romans 11:1-3

International Children’s Bible

God Shows Mercy to All People

11 So I ask: Did God throw out his people? No! I myself am an Israelite. I am from the family of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. ² God chose the Israelites to be his people before they were born. And God did not leave his people. Surely you know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he prayed to God against the people of Israel. Elijah said, ³ “They have killed your prophets, and they have destroyed your altars. I am the only prophet left. And now they are trying to kill me, too.”^[a]
