Romans Pt. 3 Week 1: Review of Romans 1-8; God's Righteousness in Election Described | Romans 9:1-13 | Pam Larson

Paul’s anguish over unbelieving Israel was made more painful when he thought of all the unique privileges and blessings that they possessed. The question hanging in the air is “Has God’s word failed?
