I asked AI "BING" version what is the meaning of Romans 11:28 "Concerning the Good News, they are hostile for your sake; but concerning chosenness, they are loved on account of the fathers"TLV
In Romans 11:28, the apostle Paul addresses Gentile Christians. He emphasizes two contrasting aspects regarding the Jewish people:
As Enemies for the Sake of the Gospel:
- Paul acknowledges that many Jewish people have rejected Christ and are, in a sense, “enemies” of the gospel.
- Their unbelief has led to a temporary estrangement from God’s plan.
As Beloved Due to God’s Choice and the Patriarchs:
- Despite their unbelief, God has not abandoned the Jewish people.
- They remain deeply loved by God because of His irrevocable promises to their forefathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob).
- God’s original choice of Israel as His people still stands, even though they are currently in a state of estrangement.
In summary, Romans 11:28 underscores God’s faithfulness and His ultimate plan to show mercy to both Jews and Gentiles who come to Him through faith in Christ. It highlights the tension between God’s sovereignty and human choices, emphasizing His enduring love for His chosen people. 🙏📖
