I believe we may be miscommunicating things here. Salvation is not for Jews only by ANY stretch, but instead for Jews and Gentiles. That however does not mean that, "Israel" is for all followers of Christ.
Israel is defined in other places of the bible as being Jews with the direct familial lineage laid out, but it is definitely interesting to see, "those of faith" being called sons of Abraham. I believe that this likely is referring to the origination of Christianity being through Abraham, but perhaps I'm not seeing the full picture - I'm incredibly tired at the moment.
This is certainly something I haven't heard before though, thank you for the discussion! God bless.
