In our human flesh, Romans 9 can be a hard pill to swallow, because it teaches that God predestinates to both glorification and to damnation. Anticipating this very reaction, the Apostle Paul declared, “O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why have you made me like this?’ Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?” (Rom. 9:20-21). Predestination does not make God a monster. Despite man’s complete inability to save himself, God, in His goodness, saves unrighteous sinners—those whom He wills. And as creatures, we should rejoice in His sovereign plan.
