Does God Make Some People Just to Destroy Them?
In Romans 9:19-10:4, Paul continues his discourse on God's sovereignty, addressing a hypothetical question about whether God unjustly blames people for their disobedience when He Himself orchestrates their destinies. He reaffirms God's sovereign right to show mercy or harden hearts, illustrating His patience and wrath through the vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath. Paul then transitions to discuss Israel's current state, highlighting that despite God's clear communication through the law and the prophets, Israel has not achieved righteousness because they pursued it through works, not faith. He contrasts this with the Gentiles, who attained righteousness through faith. In Romans 10:1-4, Paul expresses his heartfelt desire for Israel's salvation, critiquing their misunderstanding of Christ's role in fulfilling the law's righteousness, underscoring that righteousness comes from believing in Christ, not from adherence to the law.
