What Is Needed in Order to Awaken the Sincere Jews

Isaiah said in his prophecy, “The remnant will be saved.” From Paul’s day to the present time, the Holy Spirit has been calling the Jew as well as the Gentile. “God shows no personal favoritism” (Galatians 2:6), Paul declared. “The gospel ... is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” This gospel is equally effective for Jew and Gentile.ULe 138.6

When this gospel will be presented in its fullness to the Jews, many will accept Christ. Only a few Christian ministers feel called to labor for the Jewish people; but the message of Christ is to come to those who have often been passed by.ULe 138.7

In the gospel’s closing proclamation, God expects His messengers to take particular interest in the Jewish people. Many of the Jews will see the Christ of the gospel in the pages of the Old Testament and will grasp how the New Testament explains the Old. They will recognize Christ as the Savior of the world. To them God will fulfill the words, “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).ULe 138.8

Some Jews, like Saul of Tarsus, are mighty in the Scriptures, and they will powerfully proclaim the unchangeable nature of God’s law. The God of Israel will fulfill this in our day. As His servants work in faith for those who have long been neglected, God will reveal His salvation.ULe 138.9
