Commentary on Romans 9:24

Theological / Devotional

Even us. That is, the Christian church, to whom have been accorded the privileges anciently granted to Israel. “That which God purposed to do for the world through Israel, the chosen nation, He will finally accomplish through His church on earth to-day” (PK 713, 714; see Vol. IV, pp. 35, 36).

Not of the Jews only. The Christian church is constituted of both Jews and Gentiles. Again Paul emphasizes his theme of the universality of divine grace (cf. chapter 3:29, 30). No one is called and saved simply because he is a Jew. Salvation is offered to Jew and Gentile alike, and on the same terms (chapters 3:22; 10:12, 13).

Gentiles. With this reference to the Gentiles, Paul introduces the subject to be discussed to the end of chapter 11.
