Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
(v29-30, NIV)
God is both God to the Jews and God to the Gentiles. Some had thought God was exclusive to the Jews, but that is not the case. What was raised earlier was the exclusion of boasting on the principle of faith. The way people are justified is by faith and not by the observance of the law. God will justify both Jews and Gentiles by faith and is not exclusive. It is only by grace through faith in Jesus that anyone is saved. This faith that saves Jews is also the same faith that saves Gentiles.
