Romans 9:26

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.

The very place where a people had been told they were not God's people becomes the place where they are named children of the living God. Those once left uncounted are brought in and given a living sonship rather than mere outward standing. This calling embraces Gentiles as well as Israelites, so that divine grace is shown reaching both alike.
