Romans 11:14, Salvation of Mine Loved Ones
The Apostle Paul has been speaking of his burden for the salvation of his beloved countrymen. His heart goes out to them. Although his mission is to the Gentiles, he understands that God has not cast away Israel. He longs in earnest that his own people may be saved. He hopes that his work among the Gentiles may be a witness of God’s grace to his own people that they, too, may be influenced to receive Jesus Christ.
