Don't fail to see God's great purpose

Do not fail to see God’s great purpose – Rom 9:28-29

Vs 28 – The Lord will one day carry out His sentence of judgment on the earth with speed and finality.  When the grace of God is exhausted His judgment will come with speed and finality.

Vs 29 – Isaiah is quoted once more.  If God had not left us descendants, Israel would become like Sodom and Gomorrah.  Israel had failed to accept God’s divine plan.  So God gave it to the Gentiles.  These verses remind us that God is both love and wrath.  God is very complicated but the reality His mercy, love and grace are also balanced out by righteousness, purity and holiness.  God dealt with His wrath, holiness and judgment by giving us Jesus Christ which was brought forth by His mercy, grace and love.  Israel failed to seen God’s divine plan but let us not because like Israel a time will come when God will close the flow of His mercy and grace and instead bring wrath and judgment.  We do not know when that will happen so it is better to error on the side of caution and serve the Lord like this is our last day because the reality is that it could be.
