Gods love for the Israelites...

At the start of Romans 10 - reading it this morning...It nicely outlines where they were at back then and still now...

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they
may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but
their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness
that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to
God's righteousness. Christ is the end of the law so that there may be
righteousness for everyone who believes.
