Foundation & Context to Understanding Romans 9:6-13

(Click image to see in high resolution)

The above picture was developed to bring a contextual and historical understanding to Romans 9:6-13 based largely on the books of Genesis and Galatians.  God predetermined to bring about the "Word" (both the oracles of God, Rom 3:2, and Christ himself) through a very specific lineage within the nation of Israel, not based on their goodness (or evil), but based on Him and His will to redeem mankind. 

God didn't predetermine one child dammed to hell and the other for salvation before they were even born but instead offers and reveals to every man, woman, and child the good news of salvation.  Our job is to exercise our faith in the person and finished work of Christ, our Lord and savior.  Call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved!

The Eternal Gospel
The One who created us from the dust of the ground, breathing life into our bodies, His good news has remained unchanged from Adam to Abraham, from Abraham to Paul, from Paul to you and I today.  What was lost in unbelief, can be restored by faith.  Have you stood before the Lord in complete nakedness, allowing the truth of His light to reveal and wash away all the shame carried from sinful disobedience... and by faith, received His righteousness, His covering, His unconditional love, His provision?  Call upon the name of the Lord, and you shall be saved!  Amen...

All the blessings and truth of the Bible belongs to the man, woman, or child who is "In Christ"

In Christ's Name
