Book of Romans - Chapter 9 - Verse 24

9:24
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Meaning

Paul's statement in Romans 9:24 reveals a significant shift in the understanding of God's chosen people. In the past, the Jews were considered the exclusive recipients of God's calling and blessings. However, Paul emphasizes that God's invitation is not limited to one particular group but extends to both Jews and Gentiles. This verse demonstrates God's inclusivity and desire for all people to come to Him, regardless of their background or ethnicity. It highlights the universality of God's love and grace, inviting all individuals to be a part of His kingdom. By including both Jews and Gentiles in His plan of salvation, God shows that His offer of salvation is available to everyone, breaking down barriers and uniting all believers under His sovereign grace.
