Paul now addresses Christians from pagan backgrounds who may be risking their relationship with Judaism because of a possible “Christian complex” of superiority. Repeating once again what the widespread acceptance of the Gospel by his people will mean for the reign of God, he says the results will be excellent, like “a kind of resurrection” (15). He reminds them that Israel’s election still holds and that his people remain a key part of God’s plans for saving the world. For the Apostle, the Jewish people and the Christian people cannot exist without each other. Their shared destiny is to walk together until the “day of the Lord.”
