What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
All Commentaries on Romans 9:14 Go To Romans 9
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
What is to be said of infants who receive the sacrament of Christian grace, as is usual at that age, and thus undoubtedly have a claim to eternal life and the kingdom of heaven if they die at once, whereas if they are allowed to grow up, some become even apostates? Why is this, except that they are not included in that predestination and calling according to his purpose which is without repentance? Why some are included and others are not can be for a hidden reason but not for an unjust one.
