No, God is not unjust; His sovereign choice reflects His mercy and purpose, which is beyond human understanding.
Romans 9 addresses the common objection that God's election is unjust. Paul firmly rejects this notion by asserting that God has the right as the Creator to choose whom He will. His choice is not based on human standards of fairness or merit but on His sovereign will and purpose. The example of Pharaoh's hardening highlights that God can use individuals for His purposes, illustrating that His justice is perfect and incomprehensible to human reason. The essence of divine mercy is that it is given freely and unconditionally, which affirms that those chosen are recipients of His grace.
