about

There are two different categories of “Israel”: those who are merely descendants of Abraham (ethnic Israel) and those who, like Abraham, are children of the promise (true Israel). Paul references God’s election of Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau to show that His choosing is not based on factors such as works or lineage, but on “Him who calls” (v. 11).

lyrics

LYRICS
Among the sons of Abraham–
(His children of the flesh)
Reside a chosen people:
True sons of covenant.

These children of the promise
From Ishmael do not stem;
Instead they flow from Isaac,
For God selected Him.

And, next, to show His choosing
On works does not depend,
The Lord chose unborn Jacob
Above his unborn twin.

Why Jacob over Esau?
The Sovereign simply stated:
“For Jacob have I loved,
And Esau have I hated.”
