Romans 9
God's SovereignityPaul loved the people so much so taht he was willing to give up his own salvation so that all men could believe and have that relationship with God. Many people think that Christianity is about following rules, for the record, it's not. It's about a relationship with God.
I think this chapter answers alot of questions. We often cry out unfairness to a sovereign God. which is quite ironical. Throughout Genesis, you can see God choose... He choose Jacob over Esau, He choose Isaac to bless as well. But who are we to cry unfair? Does not the potter have the right to make out the the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? (v. 21)
Reading Romans, I've come to understand that all of us were in a sense destined to go down down down like Sodom and Gomorrah. We simply dont deserve any kindness at all. But God desired that none should perish and offered his son in replacement.
What's your take on it?
