Hello everyone -
This week we will complete chapter 9 and move into chapter 10. Please don't forget last week when we finished being perplexed on sovereign choice and will and that paradox along with god's purpose in glorifying himself through and to his end and finally the particulars Paul gives us in showing what god specifically has done in history to show his sovereignty and continuing to his plan even through raising up pharaoh. With all that said and in mind - please read the rest of chapter 9 below and be ready to discuss our choice based on all this - we will discuss the 'OBK' obtaining (9:29-32), Believing (9:32-33), knowing (10:1-3)....
See you Sunday!
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:
“Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”[l]
Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[m]
