Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this in-depth Bible study, we delve into Romans Chapter 9, addressing one of the most misunderstood concepts in theology: divine election. The teaching clarifies that God's election isn't about arbitrarily choosing some for salvation and others for damnation, but rather about His sovereign purpose in history and the lineage of the Messiah.

This study unpacks Paul's explanation of election in Romans 9, challenging common misconceptions about limited atonement and predestination. We examine how Paul discusses God's choice of Isaac and Jacob not as individuals selected for salvation, but as part of God's sovereign plan to bring forth the Messiah and establish His covenant promises.

Key Points:
1. The true meaning of “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated” in its proper biblical context
2. How God's foreknowledge influences His sovereign choices
3. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart—a careful chronological analysis showing Pharaoh's initial self-hardening
4. God's universal love for mankind and desire for all to come to repentance
5. The powerful metaphor of the potter and clay and what it teaches about God's sovereignty
6. The inclusion of Gentiles in God's redemptive plan
7. Israel's pursuit of righteousness by works versus the righteousness that comes by faith

Drawing from theologians like Norman Geisler and providing scriptural evidence from both Old and New Testaments, this study presents a comprehensive view of election that honors both God's sovereignty and human responsibility. The lesson closes with C.S. Lewis's conversion story as an example of how God's grace works—drawing people through mercy rather than compulsion.

Join us for this revealing study that brings clarity to challenging scriptures and unveils God's heart in election—not to condemn, but to fulfill His redemptive purposes for all humanity.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
