People have always had big, important questions about God. The Bible asks the same questions, usually word for word the way we would ask them. It also answers them. Romans 9:19-24 gets the to core of why God does what he does, why he is good even though he is a wrathful judge, and what it means for our lives.
Romans 9:14-18 discusses God's purpose in showing mercy and judgement.
Romans 9:6-13 says God's people have to live by faith, not simply by how we are raised, or the wisdom of this age. Many people are born into favor with God, but all must choose to remain there. Likewise many are born in bad circumstances, but can choose to turn to God.

Romans 9:1-3
Pastor Tyler Weidler
Romans 9 begins with a powerful statement of love for the lost, perhaps the greatest and hardest challenge in scripture.
Concluding Romans chapter 8 wakes up a powerful challenge for believers. Our God is so good his goodness demands all we have, to the point of leaving all other things behind.
There is only one thing that can separate you from God's love.
Romans 8:31-33 raise powerful questions. Many are against Christ and his people, but if God is for us, who cares who is against? Ask big prayers, step up and do big things by faith.
