Speaking of Sovereignty (Part 1)

Romans 9:1-13

Romans 9-10 is the most extensive discussion of God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibilityin the Bible.    

Scriptures never contradict; nevertheless, we do not have the capacity to resolve everything.  

Our knowledge of the Gospel should heavily burden our heart for the lost.

Spiritual kinship, not ethnic origin, determined who was a true Israelite. 

Salvation rests in God’s election, not man’s effort or worthiness.

Today’s Takeaways

There is a tension between sovereignty and responsibility; be aware.

Mystery is a part of our faith; be humble. 

Oh, the depth of the riches
and the wisdom and the knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments
and untraceable his ways!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?

Romans 11:33-34

The security of salvation depends on God; be grateful.
