Chapter 9 of the book of Romans is arguably one of the chapters that is most challenging for believers to fully grasp, sometimes because it falls out of our immediate comprehension, but sometimes simply because we don’t understand how it could be fair. Here, Paul explains that God shows mercy on whom he will show mercy, and he hardens the hearts of those through whom he wishes to display his power. He uses his question-and-answer format again, assuming that the reader will accuse God of being unjust for finding fault. His answer is simply that God may do what he wishes with the work of his hands. Knowing that the Lord could have justifiably chosen me to be a vessel of his wrath only makes me all the more grateful that he had mercy on a sinner like myself.
