REFLECTION:
What qualifies us to be part of God’s family, citizens of God’s kingdom? In this
passage of Romans 9, Paul takes up this theme again. I say, again, because he has
addressed it before in Chapter 4.
What he says here is as important to ask today as it was when Paul walked this
earth. I met people say about heaven and who enters it, has astounded me at times,
and has little to do with what really qualifies us to enter into God’s holy of holies.
