Debtors to all men We are debtors to all men because Christ died for all men not just Israel. Had he not done this then none of us could be saved. It is the same with the Israel as well. They were under the covenant of the Law and under bondage to it. The New Covenant came to save the whole world not just the Jew. When Christ came with the New Covenant of Liberty he delivered it to Israel first so that they could share the Gospel with the rest of the world. Because it was God’s will to save all men the New Covenant was given to Israel first. This caused Israel to feel that they owed the world a debt and those that were able set out to share
the Gospel with the rest of the world. In other words Christ was saying I have come to you first and given you the wonderful gift of life eternal and a covenant of mercy. Now that you (Israel) have found mercy you owe the rest of the world a debt and that debt is to share the gift that you have received with them. They did share it through the Gospel. Paul said it like this In Rom.1. 14: I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to
the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15: So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. |

God is asking us to do
this!
Romans 11:30: For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain
mercy.
Paul was saying that Israel had been held in blindness with only a remnant being saved down through the centuries, but that it is God's intent that we should give them the Gospel in these last days so that both Jew and Gentile will both be saved. He holds us accountable.
We truly hope that you will find it in your heart to help The Bible Society in Israel with this outreach. I am sure that God will bless you for it.
