Why do some Jews still reject Christ? God has the right to choose whom He will save, whom He will show mercy, and whom He will reward. He also has the right to choose whom He will not. Don't assume you know which is which. VF-2427 Romans 9:15-26

Many of Abraham's seed believed they didn't need salvation because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law. Although they were anticipating a Messiah, they rejected Christ and everything He had to say. Paul makes it clear as to "why" in the book of Romans: not all Israel is of Israel. Some of them had the capacity to respond; many did not. The same is true today, and until God gives the capacity, no one can receive. VF-2426

Not all the Jews rejected Christ, but many of the spiritual leaders were against Him because they had no spiritual discernment and they perceived Him as a threat to their position. There were also many people who only followed Jesus for self-serving reasons. The rejection of Christ was foretold by God and there are still many people today who will not hear. The Apostle Paul is an example of one called by God, who rejected Christ until God turned him around. In the end, God will have those He desires to have whether Jew or Gentile. John 1:11 VF-2425
