Rom 9:32, 1Pe 2:8 | Family | STEP | Wherefore? why have they not obtained justification? Because they sought it by their own works, and as a matter of human merit; not by believing in Christ, and receiving it for his sake. They stumbled at that stumbling-stone ; they were offended at Christ, and opposed salvation through him.

‏ Romans 9:32

Wherefore? why have they not obtained justification? Because they sought it by their own works, and as a matter of human merit; not by believing in Christ, and receiving it for his sake.

They stumbled at that stumbling-stone; they were offended at Christ, and opposed salvation through him.

‏ 1 Peter 2:8

Stumble at the word; are offended at the gospel and reject it.

Appointed; by God, who will bring upon them the punishment they deserve.
