Romans 11:25-36
Paul is fully expectant that “all Israel will be saved” (vs26), backed up by the words of Isaiah, reminding us of God’s covenant with his people. Knowing that “God’s gifts and call are irrevocable” (vs29), we are to expect God to pour out his mercy on the Jewish people (vs31) in the same way he showed mercy to us. Paul is not suggesting that the Jews will be saved apart from Christ. Jesus is the only way of salvation, and the expectation is that ‘Israel as a whole’ will come to salvation in time. We are to show mercy to the Jewish people and pray for their salvation.
