🔥 TRIFIRE SERIES - W2/Day 3

🔹 DAY 3 — WEDNESDAY

📖 Romans 9:16 (NKJV)

So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

🔍 Exegetical Insight: Paul uses two present participles - thelontos (willing) and trechontos (running) - to describe human effort in the present tense. But God's mercy (eleontos) is also present active participle, indicating ongoing, continuous mercy. The contrast isn't past vs. future, but human effort vs. divine grace happening simultaneously. Rivers flow not from our running but from His mercy that's always flowing.
