As we come to realize how big God is, and how horrifying our sin is, we will come to understand election as a grace so impossibly great that we could not imagine it on our own.

Theology is the study of God and his works as revealed in the Bible, and Christians should embrace mystery because we embrace the God that outruns our own reasoning.

God chooses to love and bless and save individuals not based on anything that they do or don’t do. Rather, God chooses based on his own sovereign freedom.

According to Romans 9, God has never defaulted on his promises to the true Israel of God. But who is the true Israel?

The greatest comfort in the world is that God is good and that he never breaks his promises.

According to the book of Romans, the majority of ethnic Israelites have rejected the Messiah even though they have unique privileges. How do we account for both Israel’s privileged status and Israel’s unbelief?

The word of God has not failed. Therefore, God’s promises will hold true.

The Bible, as God’s revealed word, offers us the unparalleled opportunity to come face to face with the reality of who he is and glimpse the glory of the King and Creator of the universe, making it more deserving of our efforts than any other book.

Whether you want it to or not, your understanding of the God of Romans 9 will shape everything else in your life.
