Why is Israel's unbelief significant for Gentiles?

Answered in 1 source

Israel's unbelief is significant for Gentiles as it led to the opportunity for Gentiles to receive God's mercy.

Paul explains in Romans 11:30 that Israel's unbelief resulted in mercy for the Gentiles. This underscores the sovereignty of God in using Israel's temporary rejection to extend grace to others. The plan of salvation is inclusive; Gentiles receive mercy and inclusion into the family of God through this divine mystery. Consequently, as we reflect on Israel's situation, we recognize the equal need for mercy we all have before God, regardless of our heritage.
