Is God Just?

Many people believe that God's choosing Israel and NO OTHER nations to receive His blessings shows favoritism. They also point to some other choices God made that Mr. Smith uses Romans 9 to cover in detail. He then ends the sermon by reminding us that there is more to this subject covered in Romans 10-11 and the meanings of the fall Holy Days that must be considered in judging God's actions.
