Romans 9:15 is a quotation from Exodus 33:19. Who can argue with God with what He chooses to do? But many men and women preachers these days dare to attack this doctrine of God's freedom to choose to save whom He will. We understand that if God's election must be determined by external causes, then His freedom is taken away. In this verse God declared that He is a debtor to no one of mankind, and that whatever He gives is a free gift from God without any strings attached. His kindness is free so that He can bestow it on whom He pleases. There is no cause higher than His own good pleasure, why He does good and shows favor to some men and not to all. Paraphrased this verse reads as if God has said: "To whom I have once purposed to show mercy, from him I will never take it away; and with perpetual kindness will I follow him to whom I have purposed to be kind". Remember, mercy means God is withholding what we do deserve. Because of our sins we deserve to go to Hell.
