We're looking at Romans 9, which contains 33 verses. We're going to examine the entire chapter because Paul is making one point, and if we break it up too much, we might miss the overall picture. Paul is showing his heart for his Jewish brothers and sisters to be saved, but he explains why it's difficult for them to be saved, even though they were originally given God's laws.This is the core of chapter nine. There are many nuances in chapter nine that address whether God chooses to save some people and not others. Is He being unfair? There are some theological points in chapter nine that we could take out of context if we don't read the entire chapter as one document instead of looking at it on a verse-by-verse basis.
