Summary
Romans 9: 22-29 - What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” 26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’” 27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.”

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Wow, all I can say is these last six episodes have been some of the deepest we have ventured through together. |
| 0:13.1 | It's like we were dropped in the middle of the Pacific Ocean |
| 0:15.7 | and told to swim. |
| 0:17.0 | My goodness, God has revealed some of the most deep and difficult waters for us to navigate through here in Romans |
| 0:26.5 | chapter 9. He's explaining to us why and how he is the sovereign God of creation. Sovereign over not just the way the |
| 0:36.2 | galaxy spin, but also sovereign over the way and the reasons that human beings make eternal choices. |
| 0:46.1 | Paul has made it very clear that God is the one in control of who becomes a believer in Christ and who does not. That is God's decision, not ours. |
| 0:57.1 | Now he uses our power of choosing as a means through which he brings it about. Absolutely. We do have that part to play. |
| 1:06.1 | But God desires to do things in ways that defy our comprehension sometimes and we have to accept that. |
| 1:15.0 | Now today we're going to read Romans 922 through 29. |
| 1:18.6 | It's a long passage. |
| 1:20.2 | So I'm going to read the entire passage just so I get through it. And then we'll come back and start understanding what it has to say. |
| 1:25.7 | Paul says, what if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with great patience vessels |
| 1:36.7 | of wrath prepared for destruction in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he is prepared |
| 1:45.0 | beforehand for glory, even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only, but also from the |
| 1:51.5 | Gentiles. You know, you see there's the question. What if God did it this way? |
| 1:56.5 | What if God chose to make his power known by enduring with much patience, people who are destined for wrath. He's |
| 2:05.8 | mercifully, painfully endured that sort of rebellion so that he could make known the riches of his glory for those |
| 2:15.9 | who will receive his mercy. Those he's prepared beforehand for glory. Paul saying |
| 2:21.6 | what if God did it that way and the what if is not really a what if |
| 2:25.1 | Paul is saying this is how God did it. Going on he says as indeed he says in |
| 2:31.5 | Jose so he's going to quote an old testament passage here |
