ROMANS—NOTE ON Romans 9:1 God’s Righteousness to Israel and to the Gentiles. Paul has made it clear that God’s saving promises have been fulfilled for the Gentiles. He now asks whether the promises God made to ethnic Israel will be fulfilled. If his promises to the Jews remain unfulfilled, how can Gentile Christians be sure that he will fulfill for them all the great promises in ch. Romans 8:1? Paul answers that God is faithful to his saving promises to Israel (Romans 9:6) and that he will ultimately save his people (Romans 11:26).
