📌Romans 9:14-29
🗣️ Says
💪 God's sovereignty and justice in His dealings with humanity. Here's a breakdown:
❤️ God's Sovereignty and Justice
📌14. "What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!"
📌15. For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
📌16. "It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy."
💜 God's Choice of Jacob over Esau
📌17. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
📌18. "Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden."
💚 God's Wrath and Mercy
📌19. One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?"
📌20. But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"
📌21. Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
📌22. What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?
📌23. What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory—
📌24. even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
💙 God's Call of the Gentiles
📌25. As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one,"
📌26. and, "In the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
