God's Word Never Fails - Romans 9:6-13
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
In this episode we explore the foundational truths of **Epistle to the Romans 9:6–13, where the Apostle Paul addresses a critical question: Has God’s word failed because many in Israel have not believed?Paul answers with a clear “no,” explaining that not all who are descended from Israel truly belong to Israel. He points to the distinction between the children of the flesh and the children of the promise, showing that God’s covenant purposes have always operated through His sovereign choice.Using examples from Israel’s history—Isaac over Ishmael, and Jacob over Esau—Paul demonstrates that God’s purpose in election is not based on human effort or merit, but on His calling and grace.This passage highlights a central truth of the gospel: salvation is ultimately rooted in God’s sovereign will, ensuring that His promises stand firm. It invites believers to trust in God’s faithfulness, even when His ways are beyond our full understanding.
