Rom 9:27-28 | MHM | STEP | v. 27-28 : Paul also uses the words of Isaiah to show that only a small part of Israel would be saved. Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved (Isaiah 10:22 ). Even if there are many Israelites, only a few will truly belong to God. Paul adds that God will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness (Romans 9:28 ). This means God’s plan will be completed quickly and fairly. He will not delay. Whether in judgment or mercy, God always finishes what He starts. This also points to how, under the gospel, God’s message is simpler and spreads faster than before.

‏ Romans 9:27-28

v. 27-28: Paul also uses the words of Isaiah to show that only a small part of Israel would be saved. Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved (Isaiah 10:22 ^a). Even if there are many Israelites, only a few will truly belong to God. Paul adds that God will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness (Romans 9:28 ^b). This means God’s plan will be completed quickly and fairly. He will not delay. Whether in judgment or mercy, God always finishes what He starts. This also points to how, under the gospel, God’s message is simpler and spreads faster than before.
