On Romans 11: "Orientation and destiny define identity. It is one thing to say, “I am a worshipper of God, and he has a wonderful plan for my life.” It is quite another to say, “I am an Irish worshipper of the God of Israel, and I will bring my resurrected glory into the glorified Jerusalem.” 

In this way, Paul sought to reorient (and thus humble) Gentile believers in relation to the Jewish hope of salvation." - John P. Harrigan
