A Verse-by-Verse Study of Romans 9
With the 1888 Message Dynamic
"The theme of Romans 9 is God’s everlasting covenant. God promised Christ as the Guarantor of His covenant and He elected the whole human race to be saved. Strict Calvinism teaches that God elected a special few to be saved. Islam, too, has its version of Allah’s sovereignty of election. Arminian Protestantism says, God has offered salvation to everyone if they do something right first and believe. Paul taught the Truth of the Gospel: God has already given the election of salvation to everyone." -- Paul E. Penno
