Look at verse 11 (Romans 11:11) : So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.In verse 11 Paul begins with a question and this question refers back to the previous section.Salvation comes to the gentiles to make Israel desire a relationship with Jesus (verses 11-12).In Romans 11:1-10 Paul shared that God did preserve a remnant.God had spoken through the prophets that gentiles would be grafted in and that Jesus would be a stumbling block to the Jewish people (Romans 9:30-33 specific about Jesus being a stumbling block). In Romans 9 and 10 Paul was showing that God is being consistent with His promises.In Romans 10:1-2 Paul also shared his heart for Israel.
