Can God Be Trusted To Keep His Promises?
If the Jews are God's chosen people, then why are there so few of them experiencing His grace through Jesus their Messiah? Has God failed to keep His promises to Israel? And if He has failed to keep His promises to Israel, how can we, non-Jews, trust that He will keep His promises to us – namely, "nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"?! Paul argues in Romans 9 that God has always been true to His promises and His character, abounding in mercy to the undeserving. God demonstrates His faithfulness by acting through individuals and among the nations to make His saving power known throughout the earth.
