Yes. That was His purpose for them. (Rom 9:8-22)
Stranger
So cold. At least there is acknowledgment that vessels of dishonor were once under wrath since one is to enter out of the wrath Of God revealed against all sin into His Rest. Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Meaning all come out of wrath but by entering into His rest 2 Timothy 2:21
[21] If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
But we also see Jesus Christ is able to purge His floor. Matthew 3:12
[12] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
What makes no sense is a vessel of mercy does what it was fitted (wrought)of God to do ...in it is MORE blessed to give (blessing) than to receive(blessing). How can one born of a quickening (LIFE GIVING) Spirit do the opposite of what it was fitted (wrought) of God to do and curse rather than bless.
He said He set before us ...blessing or cursing. Everyone here has been in His word enough to know all the verses on God saying if you obey His voice. Even Jesus Christ said they are to hear and obey His voice. Born of a “Life giving Spirit” what does it mean in trees planted of the Lord which are FOR the healing of the nations. Remember He became a curse so that those yet in sin could be blessed with Life.
Genesis 22:17-18 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; [18] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
IN BLESSING ...I will bless thee ...goes with mercy is given to those who are merciful. If one is of Abraham who rejoiced to see HIS day would one not do the works of Abraham ...because “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
Are the children of promise a cursing unto all the earth...or a BLESSING unto all the earth? Glory prepared of and for God to be revealed in His children? What do you think that glory is? To be seen as He IS. A blessing rather than a curse. What comes out of our mouth ...death or Life? How do we deceive ourselves by speaking curse yet claiming blessing for ourself. That is no “quickening LIFE GIVING Spirit” but withholding Life in unrighteousness and refusing to give what was given freely for His namesake.
Psalm 37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Job 36:20-21 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. [21] Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
