“What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As He says also in Hosea: “I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved.” “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.” Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved. For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.” And as Isaiah said before: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”” Romans 9:14-29
The Lord loves His remnant. His Beloved.
Jesus is the Hope of Israel, and the only resurrected Lord. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Apart from Him there is no life or hope. There is only vanity, death and eternal destruction in the lake of fire. However, in Him is freedom from sin, and death which are the power of the law of Moses. All who believe in Him and abide in Him are granted an eternal inheritance in heaven. He said I will never leave you nor forsake you, I will be with you always even until the end of the age! All who confess Him as Lord and believe in His name will not be put to shame. Turn from your sin and call on His Name and He will grant you eternal life.
He died on the cross, He was buried, and He rose again from the dead the third day. He appeared to over 40 witnesses, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God. He testifies of Himself!
Read the gospels, they testify of Him! Peace and God bless. He’s my only Hope and He loves you.
