Gen Z: Romans 9
1I’m keepin' it real in Christ, no cap, my conscience is vibin’ with the Holy Ghost.
2I’m feelin' heavy vibes and mad sorrow in my heart, fr.
3I’d even take the L for my fam, my peeps according to the flesh.
4They’re the real Israelites; they got the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the law, the service of God, and all the promises, periodt.
5They got the OGs, and Christ came through them, who’s over all, God’s blessed forever. Amen.
6Don’t get it twisted, the word of God is still lit. Not everyone from Israel is actually Israel, no cap.
7Just ‘cause they’re Abraham’s squad doesn’t mean they’re all his kids: Isaac’s where the promise pops off.
8Basically, the kids of the flesh ain't the real deal; the promise kids are the true heirs.
9This is the promise: “I’ll be back at this time, and Sara’s gonna have a son.”
10And it’s not just that; when Rebecca got pregnant by our dude Isaac, it was a whole vibe.
11For the kids who ain't even born yet, not vibing with good or bad, God's plan is on lock, not about the grind, but who He calls, periodt.
12It was said to her, the older one's gonna serve the younger, no cap.
13Like, it's written, Jacob's my fave, but Esau? Nah, he’s sus.
14So what’s the tea? Is God being shady? Nah fam, that ain't it.
15He told Moses, I’ll show mercy to who I wanna, and I’ll vibe with who I vibe with.
16So it’s not about who wants it or who’s hustling, but it’s all about God showing mercy, fr.
17Scripture says to Pharaoh, I raised you up for this purpose, to flex my power through you, so everyone knows my name, lit.
18So, He shows mercy to who He wants, and hardens who He wants, no cap.
19You’re gonna ask me, why does He still find fault? Who can resist His vibe?
20But hold up, who are you to talk back to God? Can the creation ask the Creator, why’d you make me like this?
21The potter’s got mad skills with the clay, making some vessels for honor and others for the not-so-honorable, no cap.
22What if God, flexing His wrath and showing His power, puts up with the vessels of wrath that are just waiting to be wrecked?
23He’s tryna show off the riches of His glory on the mercy vessels He prepped for the glow-up, fr.
24Even us, who He called, not just the Jews but also the Gentiles, like, that’s lit!
25Just like He said through Osee, “I’ll call them my peeps who weren’t my peeps; and her beloved, who was not beloved.”
26And it’s gonna be a vibe where they said, “You’re not my people;” they’ll be called the children of the living God, periodt.
27Esaias is out here saying about Israel, even if the kids of Israel are like the sand on the beach, a remnant’s gonna be saved, no doubt.
28He’s gonna wrap it up and keep it righteous: the Lord’s gonna do a quick work on the earth, no cap.
29And as Esaias said before, if the Lord of Sabaoth hadn’t left us a seed, we’d be like Sodoma, straight up Gomorrha vibes.
30So what’s the tea? The Gentiles, who weren’t chasing after righteousness, actually got the righteousness that comes from faith, that slaps!
31But Israel, chasing after the vibe of righteousness, didn’t snag it, no cap.
32Why's that? 'Cause they weren’t about that faith life, just flexing their works. They totally tripped over that stumblingstone.
33As it’s said, "Check it, I’m dropping a stumblingstone and a rock that’s kinda sus: whoever believes in him won’t be shook."
