Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the…

Paul never preached the gospel of grace personally in Rome, so how did the Jews in Romans 9, 10 and 11 get saved?

Are followers of Christ Israel by faith?

Social Media Question: Followers of Christ are grafted into the vine, correct? So that would mean that followers of Christ are Israel by faith, would it not? Jesus fulfilled the law.
