Homily - Romans 9:1-29 - God's Purpose in Election

Have you ever wished you could trade places with someone, if it meant their salvation? That’s exactly what Paul says in the opening of Romans 9 - a grief so great he could wish himself accursed for his unbelieving kinsmen. From there Paul turns to the hardest (and one of the most contested) doctrines in all of Scripture: God’s sovereign election. In this lesson, beginning with Paul's proper disposition toward this doctrine, we trace its history in the stories of Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Pharaoh and Moses, and consider the circumstance in which it comes to us. Finally, we turn to election's proper application - a doctrine meant not for doubt or pride, but for humility, assurance, and confidence, both in our own salvation and in sharing the gospel with anyone, since God will lose none of his elect. Listen as Pastor Glenn Jones walks us through Romans 9:1-29 and God’s purpose in election. Preached on the 18th Sunday of Trinity Season, October 4, 2026.
