Ask The Right Questions First
- Interpreting Romans 9 requires asking the right questions about the text, not modern concerns about individual election.
- Paul focuses on whether ethnic Israel equals God's people, not the 'am I saved?' question.
Context: Sin, Salvation, And Israel
- Romans 1–8 sets up human sinfulness and God's way of saving, while Romans 9–11 tackles Jews and Gentiles.
- Paul clarifies that ethnic Jewish identity doesn't automatically make one part of God's people; faith in Christ does.
Paul Answers 'Is God Unjust?'
- Paul anticipates Jewish objections like 'Is God unjust?' when Gentiles are included and some Jews seem excluded.
- His answer emphasizes God's fairness and that inclusion is based on faith, not ethnicity.
