Interesting to note that a man who understands the Gospel like no other is one who is especially concerned with the salvation of Israelites. He has not abrogated them to some category of "vessels of wrath" nor has he tossed his hands up as "not chosen before the foundation of the world." Indeed, even in Acts where he wipes the dust off his feet he makes repeated efforts to win them for Christ and here he earnestly prays for them and bears witness of them.

You want to know where is God right now? You want to know God personally? You want to be saved? You find yourself in a rough spot and you wound up here through a link or a search engine? Maybe you're part of the religious group but you just have some questions? I don't know your story but you're here.

Lots of people have wondered about this, sometimes long after they have believed, especially after a moment of personal weakness or a particularly rough patch in life's walk.  Sometimes the person looks back at their personal experience and holds the current crisis up as a counterpoint. For example: I sin today and think "Am I still saved? Especially in light of me trusting God to save me twenty two years ago? Especially in light of me preaching for years?"
