To whom did Paul say the salvation of God is sent?
Paul declared that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles. Speaking in Rome while imprisoned, he made this known to the Jews, saying the Gentiles would hear it, though not all would believe. This marked the final turning point as he turned to the Gentiles.
Les explains that Paul, writing from Rome in prison, first recounts Israel's blindness from Isaiah's day, saying he had tried to get them to see the truth but they would not. Then in verse 28 Paul declares, "Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to Gentiles." Paul had told them earlier that if they would not believe, he would go to the Gentiles, and he did, but he still returned to appeal to Israel. Now it is final. The Gentiles will hear it, though not all will believe. After Paul said these words, the Jews departed and had great reasoning among themselves. Les points out that this marks a departure in Paul's writings—the Gospel of Grace written to the Church.
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
