This Lord’s Day, we arrive at a new section of Romans in chapter 9. Here in this chapter, Paul switches gears to answer an implicit question: With all of these Gentiles coming to faith, what does that mean for national Israel? Has God abandoned one people for the sake of another? Paul uses the doctrine of election to show that it is not those who are descended form Abraham by blood only who are heirs of the promise. But it is those who are descendants of Abraham by faith. This passage also highlights the spiritual nature of the Christian faith, and teaches us about the distinction between the visible and invisible Church.
