Paul loves Israel dearly, and wants them to know that Jesus is, in fact, their promised Messiah. In preaching about putting the law to death, he doesn’t want to communicate that Israel has somehow been forgotten or rejected in the process. While not all of Israel will be saved, there will be a remnant chosen by grace. Paul turns to address the Gentiles of Rome directly to show them how important Israel is to their salvation. They, and all who are not of Jewish decent, have been grafted into Israel, which means that the roots planted and secured through Israel are what allow us to thrive and flourish in the life-giving faith that comes through submitting to Jesus, our Deliverer who comes from Zion.
