Romans 9:14 - 9:24
RomansSteve Gregg
In this section of scripture, Paul reconciles the rejection of Christ by Israel despite being given covenants and promises of salvation. Paul explains that physical descent from Abraham is not significant to God's selection as he has always chosen a special selection of family members to serve his purpose of bringing forth the Messiah and blessing the nations. Moreover, Paul argues that God's choice of Jacob over Esau was a prophecy about the destiny of the respective nations that would descend from them, and God's mercy is based on individual choices and conditions of the heart, not predetermined by total depravity.
