Are vessels of wrath able to become vessels of mercy?

Can a vessel of wrath become a vessel of mercy?
EVERY HUMAN is a "Vessel of wrath" in their natural unregenerate state. NO HUMAN in the Old Testament was "Saved / Regenerated" in the New Testament sense, and NO Old Testament persons went to heaven when they dies - instead those who placed their faith in GOD to cleanse them went to "Abraham's Bosom" (Luke 16:22) - apparently a "place" apart from HELL where Old Testament Believers were consigned to when they died physically. they dies IN FAITH that God would make a way.

Then Jesus came, and performed the perfect "SIN OFFERING" (Isa 53:10-12), and led those in "Abraham's Bosom" into Heaven (Eph 4:8). Also the way to immediate regeneration (Salvation) became experimentally real, based on FAITH (Eph 2:8,9).

Salvation from Adam forward HAS ALWAYS BEEN by FAITH as communicated by the Holy Spirit (Rom 10:17).

Simple as that!!!
 
Nothing can overturn that fact Rom 8:8

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
You have ignored many verses

Actually, scripture shows your view to be false.

You are incapable of dealing with scripture.


The Spirit makes alive those who believe. That is

faith precedes regeneration, for regeneration requires the indwelling of the Spirit

John 7:38–39 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Gal 3:2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

Gal 3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Eph 1:13–14 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

It is rather plain

John 1:12–13But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Those who believe become children of God that is born of God, i.e., regenerated.
.

As always

You have to be really incapable to imagine your interpretation of one verse contradicts many of God's verses.
