Salvation Has Come - Romans 11:11-12

Romans 11:11-12

So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!


Through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles. The Gentiles achieved salvation through faith. The Law was given to prepare for the way of faith. What the law could not do, faith will provide. 


John the Baptist, the final prophet of the law, was the voice that cried out in the wilderness to prepare the way of Christ. The Law opened the doorway to repentance. Repentance opens the doorway to salvation. Salvation opens the door to the full inclusion of Israel and the world.
