—Romans 9:17-29
by: Cheri Appel.
This passage speaks of God’s character. God is omnipotent—all powerful. He is limitless. He determines what He does according to His purposes. He is omniscient—all knowing. God knows the future, including all who will enter His heavenly Kingdom. Does that conflict with a God who gives us “free will” to choose our own behaviors and decisions? God is omnipresent—aware of everything, anytime, anywhere. We agree when Paul says only a foolish person would argue with the Almighty. A created being does not argue with the Creator. Thus, we are grateful for His patience and mercy. Are you able to explain God’s character to others?
