Israel‘s transgression — Gentile salvation — Israel’s jealousy/salvation — Gentile blessing

What does it mean to be a Jew if it doesn’t gain salvation from God?

We don’t like verses like Romans 9:13. They make us feel uncomfortable.

For one to be a part of spiritual Israel one must be chosen by God of his free grace and come to Jesus in faith.

I would like to take some time introducing and exegeting Romans 9 in anticipation of preaching through Romans 9-11 in February.
