Israel was not ignorant of these things. But I ask, did they not hear? This rhetorical question posed by Paul addresses the issue of Israel's accountability in rejecting the gospel.

Teaching Points The Universality of the GospelThe Gospel message is not limited to a specific group but is intended for all humanity. This universality calls for a global mission mindset among believers. Responsibility to Hear and Respond Just as Israel was accountable for hearing the message, so are we. Hearing the Gospel comes with the responsibility to respond in faith and obedience. The Role of Creation in Revelation Creation itself testifies to God's existence and glory, serving as a backdrop to the verbal proclamation of the Gospel. Believers should recognize and use this natural revelation as a bridge to share the Gospel. The Urgency of Evangelism With the Gospel having gone out into all the earth, there is an urgency for believers to actively participate in evangelism, ensuring that all have the opportunity to hear and respond. Faith Comes by Hearing The importance of preaching and teaching the Word is underscored, as faith comes by hearing the message of Christ. Believers are called to be diligent in sharing the Word.(18) Have they not heard?--The relations of hearing to belief suggest to the Apostle a possible excuse for the Jews, and the excuse he puts forward interrogatively himself: "But, I ask, did they (the Jews) not hear?"
