Dear brothers and sisters, peace be to everyone! In the previous episode, I shared on the topic, ‘Does God exist?’ God’s existence is not determined by our decision that He exists. On the contrary, our existence is determined by His decision for us to exist. God is not the outcome of our imagination. He is God because from the beginning, He is God. Just like my father is my dad because originally, he is my father; the fact that he is my father is not the figment of my imagination.

亲爱的朋友，亲爱的弟兄姐妹，我是施玮。很高兴又与您在空中相遇。今天我们一同来查考罗马书9章22-26节。我们先来读这段经文。

【罗马书】9:22-26

22倘若神要显明他的愤怒，彰显他的权能，就多多忍耐宽容那可怒、预备遭毁灭的器皿，23又要将他丰盛的荣耀彰显在那蒙怜悯、早预备得荣耀的器皿上——24这器皿就是我们被神所召的，不但是从犹太人中，也是从外邦人中——这有什么不可呢？25就像神在何西阿书上说：“那本来不是我子民的，我要称为我的子民；本来不是蒙爱的，我要称为蒙爱的。26从前在什么地方对他们说‘你们不是我的子民’，将来就在那里称他们为‘永生神的儿子’。”
