Paul unpacks the truth that salvation is for everyone while sharing his own personal longing and prayer of his heart for the people of Israel to be saved. Even when God’s people rejected Him, he did not revoke His promise. His proximity revealed His promise. Jesus came to live and walk among us and showed us how our proximity to God’s heart should reflect our proximity to those He loves. Regardless of how far gone someone may seem, God’s desire is for them to know the hope and life they can find in Jesus. God has not rejected His people, and just as He went to great lengths on the cross for us, He will continue to so that someone somewhere might know Him. Who’s your one that seems too far gone? The one that God continues to put in your path that has rejected Him? Our invitation is to begin to pray for our one.
