Context Readings

God Chose People Who Are Not Jewish

28 For the Lord will carry out His word in the world [i.e., He will require an accounting from the people] quickly and decisively." 29 And, as Isaiah had said in a previous passage [1:9], "If the Lord of the [heavenly] armies [i.e., Almighty God] had not left us some descendants [i.e., a small minority], we would have become like Sodom; He would have made us like Gomorrah [i.e., destroyed]." 30 What shall we say then? [Simply this]: That the Gentiles, who did not attempt to become right with God [by how they lived] were made right with God, and this was the result of their faith [in Christ].
