God chose Israel but some of Israel did not choose God- rather, they depended on their own works.
This would have been a difficult message for law keeping Jews to take to heart.
God is perfectly just in every way.
When it comes to salvation, the only thing men bring to the table is their own sin.
Remember: salvation is offered because of God’s goodness- not ours.
When we have an accurate view of our own righteousness apart from Christ (sad face), the entire conversation of God’s actions being just comes into proper focus.
Perfect Father, thank you for your perfect character.
