Answered in 2 sources

Romans 9:22-24 teaches that God endures vessels of wrath fitted for destruction to reveal His glory on vessels of mercy prepared for glory.

In Romans 9:22-24, the Apostle Paul discusses the concept of vessels of wrath and vessels of mercy. He states that God shows mercy on whom He wills and hardens whom He wills, illustrating His sovereignty over salvation. The vessels of wrath are those fitted to destruction, indicating that their ultimate fate is a result of their sin, while the vessels of mercy are those whom God has prepared beforehand for glory. This passage powerfully conveys that God's purpose in all things is ultimately for His glory, and it underscores the weight of His divine sovereignty in election and reprobation.
