Romans 9 - God’s Sovereignty, Mercy, and Purpose Explained Pastor Chidi Okorie Episode 1454 - SendMe Radio

In this passage, the Apostle Paul addresses a deep question: 👉 Why do some respond to God… and others do not? He begins with sorrow for Israel God’s chosen people yet many had not accepted the promise. This leads into a deeper revelation: 👉 Not everyone who is physically descended is part of the true promise. Paul explains that God’s purpose is not based on human effort, status, or lineage but on His calling and mercy. He uses examples like Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, showing that God’s plan is established according to His purpose not human expectation. Then comes one of the most powerful statements: 👉 “It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.” This does not mean God is unfair. It reveals that salvation is not something we earn it is something we receive.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.
