Romans 9:4-5 - Who are the Israelites and why does Paul feel this continual sadness and heaviness for his kinfolk? In this Scripture passage, Paul is showing the unique privileges that the Jewish people had as God’s chosen people. In this sermon on Romans 9:45 titled Who are the Israelites? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains the three terms which are often used to describe this people group: Jews, Hebrews, and Israelites. Each of these terms have a different meaning when used in Scripture and he details those three meanings. The term Jews is used to show the opposite of Gentile, which is the rest of the world. Hebrews describes a time in Jewish history when they spoke Hebrew. The term Israelites is used for the whole of God’s chosen people group that descended directly from Jacob. Dr. Lloyd-Jones then goes on to detail the other terms that Paul uses in this passage. Adoption is used in a general sense, but means that God has placed this people group in a whole new position as his children. Glory means how God presented Himself to His people, proving His faithfulness to them. All Gentiles have been brought into a share of this, becoming sons and daughters of Christ through adoption.
