Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Join us for an in-depth Bible study as we dive into Romans Chapter 9 for the third time in our series, exploring its profound and often controversial themes. In this detailed examination, we slow down to unpack the context, supporting verses, and key theological questions raised in Romans 9, 10, and 11—some of the most debated chapters in Scripture.

In this study, we tackle the provocative question: Does God hate some people? This question stems from Romans 9:13, where Paul quotes Malachi 1:2–3, stating, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” We carefully analyze this verse within its broader context, exploring the election of nations, God’s foreknowledge, and His love for humanity. Through a verse-by-verse study, we clarify misconceptions about God’s character and His plan for salvation, drawing from passages like John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9, and 1 Timothy 2:4 to affirm God’s desire for all to be saved.

Key Topics:
1. The context of Romans 9, 10, and 11
2. The doctrine of election
3. God’s love and justice
4. Jacob and Esau
5. Soteriology

We also address challenging questions, such as why Israel stumbled over the “stumbling stone” of Christ (Romans 9:32–33) and how God’s promises remain faithful despite Israel’s unbelief (Romans 11:1). With references to Isaiah 53:3, Jeremiah 30:7, and other Old Testament prophecies, we connect the dots between God’s covenant with Israel and His ultimate plan for redemption.

This study is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Romans, biblical theology, or the balance between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. Whether you’re a seasoned Bible student or new to Scripture, our thorough approach—grounded in context and supported by cross-references—will equip you to grapple with these complex passages.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
