Romans 9:19-24 ESV
You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?
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,
in order to make known the riches of his glory for
?
Israel rebelled against God and tested His patience. He did this to make known and to provide a way for His mercy which would be available to all people, Jews and Gentiles. His choice for a chosen people comes from all the nations. He chooses those who choose Him. This was His will from the beginning.
It applies to even us.
