THERE IS STILL HOPE. Romans 9:23-33 v.23. How is God going to make known what He is like? v.24. Can He make Himself known to any people? v.25. Even in the Old Testament, He called and loved people who were not Israelites. v.26. He didn’t just love them but made them His children, too. v.27. Only a few Jews among the whole nation that God had chosen are saved. v.28. The Lord is settling up the account quickly. v.29. If the Lord hadn’t been merciful to Israel that rejected Him, everyone would have died. v.30. Were the nations God had not chosen to be His overlooked? No, because faith is not limited to a nation or only a few people. Faith is available to all. v.31. The Jews thought that because they had the written legal law, that made them acceptable to God. But the law of righteousness is based on faith. v. 32. Why did the Jews miss this righteousness by faith? They depended on trusting the law instead of trusting Christ the law leads us to. v.33. Everywhere they looked, they could have seen evidence of the Messiah who was coming, but no, they wanted it their way. However, anyone who believed in Christ before He came would not be confused or stumble.
