Quick takeaways

  • God's promises to his ancient people have not been broken, and belonging to God's people has always been based on faith rather than physical descent.
  • God's plan has always been to extend salvation to both Jews and Gentiles, with the goal of unity in the church.

Deep dives

Paul's concern for the Jewish people

In chapters 9 to 11 of his letter to the Romans, Paul expresses his deep distress and concern for his Jewish kinsmen who, despite having many spiritual privileges, have not come to faith in Jesus Christ. Paul's own experience of God's grace as a Jew and the tensions between Jews and Gentiles in the Roman churches serve as a backdrop to his extended exposition on God's purposes for both Jews and Gentiles. The main argument is that God's promises to his ancient people have not been broken, and belonging to God's people has always been based on faith rather than physical descent.
