Romans 1:16d

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

(v16, NIV)

Wow, still on this verse. I can't move on or something. What's up with that? Anyways, back to the case...

Though it may be good to see where Jews are first in, I think it's also good to know where they are not first in. The fact of the matter is that most of us are Gentiles. So what are they not first in? Well, we have all sinned. Both Jew and Gentile have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is no distinction between Jew and Gentile in this manner. In addition, we are equal in the way that we are saved. By this I mean that God is both the God of the Jews and God of the Gentiles. God doesn't save one person over the other because they are a Jew or a Gentile. This is a gift from God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not based on Jewishness or Gentileness. Instead, we Gentiles are brought into the fold. We are brought near and are fellow heirs. Don't worry if you're not a Jew, look to God and trust in him.
