"What advantage then hath the Jew?..." Romans 3:1
Paul argues that having received the oracles of God first, the Jews have had advantage over all other people in every way. As a nation and as individuals, they have been exposed to the truth of God, His blessing and terms of relationship with Him, for the longest time. Seniority in God should mean therefore greater responsibility and willingness to live as a humble and holy example to those who follow. Those who have trod the narrow path to eternal life for a longer time, should with great joy and gratitude serve God in exemplary lives - empty of complaint, pride or arrogance, and filled with genuine compassion and desire to assist and love those who are newer in walking the way and following after the Master!
