THAT ISRAEL MIGHT BE SAVED

Today I would like to talk with you about the Jewish people [National and ethnic Israel] and their need for salvation in Jesus Christ

The following words were spoken by the Jewish apostle Paul, who was converted to Christ, on the road to Damascus [Acts 9].

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. (Romans 10:1)

The opposite of saved is lost and Paul knew that the Jewish people were doomed to an eternal Hell without Jesus Christ and that is why Paul made that statement.

Paul was once in that very same LOST condition, and he had a burden for their souls.

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. (Romans 10:2)

They do have a zeal = but it is not according to the scriptures.

Paul used to think just like they did, and he formerly had that same misguided zeal.

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (Romans 10:3)

The people of Israel were trying to observe the law, trying their best to please God, but they missed the very RIGHTEOUSNESS of God, which is found ONLY by FAITH in Jesus Christ! Many Gentiles do the same thing.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:4)
