Be all in with your love for people. But Be all in with your hatred of evil.Nothing phony. Nothing half-hearted. Nothing ho-hum about love or hate. Love people zealously. Hate evil zealously.

The burden of Paul in Romans 11 is the salvation of Israel. Not only "some of them," as it says in verse 14, but in the end the whole people. "A partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. vs 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved"

God's purpose in the trespass of Israel is salvation for the Gentiles. And his purpose for the salvation of the Gentiles is to make Israel jealous, so that she (Israel) awakens to the greatness of Christ and embraces her Messiah. And then Paul adds, the purpose of the salvation of all Israel "their full inclusion" is something even greater. Something glorious follows the full number of the Gentiles and the full number of Israel. For if Israel's rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

"God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew" (Romans 11:2). My friends, God's word has not fallen short. And if you will trust him and bank on his Son Jesus Christ, all the promises of God for living and dying will be yours and will be unquestionable.

And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?
