God showed His mercy for a lifetime, even though He knew their end.
It is the right of the potter to use His vessel for His purposes.
His patience with sin should lead us to repentance - cf
If God can promise in Hosea to restore backslidden Israel, how much more can he add the Gentiles.
The Israelites did not remain because they were better.
On fairness, they were not any better than Sodom and Gomorrah.
We all get better than we deserve.
God has sovereignly given mankind choice.
Saved person - do you live a life of intense gratitude?
Does the love and patience God has shown for you spill out onto every other element of your life?
Gregory of Nicea said that Basil of Caeserea had an ambidextrous faith.
He wasas ready to take afflictions with his left hand as he was pleasure with his right.
Paul wished he could be damned to save His brothers and sisters.
He wished that, although their hearts were hardened, there was some way he could take their punishment.
But there would be no point!
One of their kinsmen already had.
