To Make Known

Romans 9:22-26 (ESV Strong's)

22 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.’”

God gave His light to mankind to reveal the riches of His glory and mercy He has prepared for us. This was His intent from the beginning. We all can come to the Lord as His “beloved”. He invites us beyond salvation and into an intimate, everlasting relationship based on love.
