Paul and the Gentiles

Romans 11: 11-24

Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

In writing to both Jews and Gentiles who were Christians in Rome, Paul

now wanted the Gentile Christians to pay special attention to what he

wrote. Because of the Jews rejection of Paul and the gospel, he turned to

the Gentiles and was approved as the apostle to the Gentiles; whereas, Peter

was known as the apostle to the Jews. Paul did not consider himself

demoted to a lesser place or promoted above others, but he thankfully,

happily, and graciously embraced his honorable call to serve the Gentiles

and lead many to faith in Christ.
