“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,

“’The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
This is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.’

“From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.” (Romans 11:25-32 NASB1995)

Please read this in the context of all of the book of Romans, and in the context of the whole of Romans 9-11 which talks on this subject of the Jews who rejected Jesus as the Christ, their Lord, their Messiah. For when this says that “all Israel will be saved,” it is speaking of biblical Israel, i.e. all Jews and Gentiles of biblical faith in Jesus Christ. But not all Jews past who rejected Jesus will be saved, and not all Jews present will be saved by faith in Jesus Christ, but only a remnant (see Romans 9:25-28; Romans 11:5).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

And Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

So, when this says that “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable,” it does not mean that every Jew who has ever walked this earth is going to be saved and have eternal life with God. It just means that the invitation and the opportunity to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior still stands until Jesus returns and he takes his bride to be with him for eternity and he judges the earth and the people of the earth who refused him as their Lord and Savior. One day that invitation will no longer be there, but it is for now.

And that invitation to believe in Jesus Christ and to have salvation from sin and eternal life with God is for all people, Jew and Gentile by physical birth. But please know that the invitation for us is, by God-gifted faith in Jesus, to deny self, die with Christ to sin (not just once, but daily), and to follow our Lord in surrender to his will, in subjection to him as Lord, and in walks of obedience to his commands in holy living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God, and because of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins on that cross.

Therefore, we are not to regard ourselves as either superior or inferior to the Jews. But the biggest concern in our day is that so many Christians have been duped into becoming Jew worshipers, i.e. worshipers of the physical and political nation called, “Israel.” But they are not the “Israel of God,” for as a nation they have rejected Jesus Christ as their Messiah, and thus the Bible teaches that they are the antichrist (1 John 2:22). So supporting them and giving loyalty to them is giving loyalty and devotion to the antichrist.

So, please take the time to read these Scriptures, and to read them in their correct biblical context, as a whole, for the physical and political nation called, “Israel,” is not the Israel of God. Biblically speaking, they are the antichrist, for they deny that Jesus is the Christ. But we who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Master of our lives are the Israel of God. And the invitation still stands for the Jews and Gentiles who presently don’t believe in Jesus to put their faith in the Lord Jesus and to be included in “all Israel.”

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
