He did not create people to be lost.
20 Nay but, O man,
who art thou that repliest against GOD? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if GOD, willing to shew His WRATH, and to make His power kn own, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of WRATH fitted to DESTRUCTION:
23 And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, whichhe had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us (TRUE BELIEVERS), whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As He saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people(Gentile peoples); and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living GOD.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a REMNANT->(144k) shall be saved:
28 For He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they STUMBLED at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the Day of WRATH (Lord's Day), this Day arrived) and revelation of the righteous Judgment of GOD;->(the Word is GOD, GOD Himself, GOD Father, Father of my Lord JESUS Christ, Self-executable, undersdtand?)
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality,
eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil->(1Corinthios 6:9-10, get ready), of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
1
0 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.
12 For as many as have sinned without law(the Gentiles) shall also PERISH without law: and as many as have sinned in the law(Jewish people-Israel) shall be Judged by the Law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before GOD, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.
16 In the Day->(this Day arrived, the Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium) when GOD shall Judge the secrets of men by JESUS Christ according to my gospel.
