Context — God’s Sovereign Choice

22What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction? 23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—

24including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?

25As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,” 26and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”

Romans 9:24 Summary

[Romans 9:24 tells us that God has called people from all backgrounds, including both Jews and Gentiles, to be part of His family. This means that no matter where we come from or what our past is like, God can call us to be His children. As it says in John 1:12, to all who receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God. This is a powerful reminder of God's love and mercy, as seen in Ephesians 2:4-5, where it says that God's love is so great that He made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in our sins.]

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this verse relate to God's mercy and glory?

This verse is connected to the idea that God's mercy and glory are revealed in His calling of people from different backgrounds, as seen in the preceding verses, Romans 9:22-23, where it talks about the vessels of His mercy and wrath.

What is the significance of the word 'including' in this verse?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Romans 9:24

Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Romans 9:24

Hitherto he hath been showing, that the promise was never made or meant to the carnal seed of Abraham. This argument he began, ,7, and he continues it (using several apostrophes and amplifications, which were to his purpose) till he comes to these words; and here he tells you plainly who are the true seed of Abraham, and the children of the promise, even the called of God of all nations, whether Jews or Gentiles. And he takes occasion to fall into it, by speaking of some in the foregoing verse, that were vessels of mercy, afore prepared unto glory: now here, in this verse, he tells you, who these are; (and to be sure they are the persons he is inquiring after, viz. the spiritual seed of Abraham, and the children of the promise:) he says, they are such as God called; i.e. effectually called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles; and that this is so, he further proves in the following verse.

Trapp's Commentary on Romans 9:24

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Ver. 24. Even us] Not me Paul only hath he assured of vocation, and so consequently of election to eternal life.

Ellicott's Commentary on Romans 9:24

(24) Even us.—So far the form of the sentence had been abstract—“vessels of wrath,” “vessels of glory.” Now the Apostle explains who are meant by these abstract terms. The “vessels of glory” are those who were intended to accept the Christian teaching, whether Jews or Gentiles. The “vessels of wrath” are the unbelieving mass of the people of Israel.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Romans 9:24

Verse 24. Even us, whom he hath called] All the Jews and Gentiles who have been invited by the preaching of the Gospel to receive justification by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and have come to the Gospel feast on this invitation.

Cambridge Bible on Romans 9:24

24. even us] Lit., and better, whom also he called, us, &c. The “also” or “even” goes with the verb, and seems to indicate that the “afore-preparation” is rather that of the electing purpose of God than that of personal sanctification (which is, however, the sure sequel of the other). Q. d., “He fore-ordained to glory the vessels of mercy, and then proceeded actually to call them to grace.”hath called] Better, called. See on Romans 8:28.not of the Jews only] Here St Paul reminds us of the special subject of this discussion; the apparent rejection of Israel. By the true heirs of Abraham was all along meant the church of the elect; those who should be “called” and should “love God.” In the Mosaic age these were but some of the bodily Israel; in the Christian age they were largely found outside that Israel. But in both cases the Promise, in its true intention, was fulfilling. He now quotes in proof of that true intention.

Barnes' Notes on Romans 9:24

Even us ... - See Romans 1:16; Romans 2:10; Romans 3:29-30. To prove that the Gentiles might be called as well as the Jews, was a leading design of the Epistle. Us - Christians, selected from both Jews and Gentiles.

Whedon's Commentary on Romans 9:24

24. Even us—By a sudden turn the whole weight of the climax of the above argument comes down with a forcible emphasis upon the present company.
