Romans 9:22-23
²² What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath-- prepared for destruction? ²³ What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory--

1. God is glorified in the judgment of sinners, because it reveals the glory of his attributes of righteousness, justice, and holiness.

2. God is even more glorified in his mercy shown to sinners, because it reveals the glory of his attributes of mercy, love, and grace.

Main Idea: It is God's right as the Sovereign Creator to magnify his own glory in the way that he deems best, both in the judgment of sinners and in his choosing to show mercy to some.
