Conversion of the Gentiles

In this section, Paul explains that the rejection of many Jews and the acceptance of the Gentiles were already predicted in the Old Testament. He shows that God’s plan to save people from every nation is not a new idea. By quoting from the prophets Hosea and Isaiah, Paul proves that God’s promises to the fathers are being fulfilled, even if it happens in ways people did not expect.

v. 25-26: Paul quotes Hosea, who spoke about God calling people who were once not His people. I will call them My people, who were not My people; and her beloved, who was not beloved (Hosea 2:23 ^a). This means that the Gentiles, who did not know God before, are now welcomed and loved by Him. Paul also quotes, In the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people," there they shall be called sons of the living God (Hosea 1:10 ^b). The Gentiles do not have to become Jews or move to Israel to be God’s people. Wherever they are, God will call them His children. This is a great honor, showing God’s love and grace to all who believe.
