The hope of God

The hope of God

Paul’s passion for all nations reveals God’s inclusive plan of salvation, culminating in the hope and glory shared through Christ.

Paul reveals in Romans 15 his deep passion for the salvation of all nations, not just Israel. He emphasizes Christ’s dual purpose: to confirm God’s promises to the Jews and extend mercy to the Gentiles. Drawing from multiple Old Testament prophecies, Paul shows that God's plan always included all ethnicities. He sees his ministry as part of this global vision—evangelizing from Jerusalem to Illyricum through word, power, and the Spirit. His apostolic mission centers on leading nations to faith and obedience, ultimately expressing the unstoppable hope of God that fills believers with joy and peace.
