EXAMPLES OF ELECTION & REJECTION: ISAAC
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Election And Rejection
a) We look at "God's purpose according to election" (Romans 9:11). When God elected one, he necessarily rejected the remainder of the group he chose among. This principle of ELECTION or DIVINE CALLING is a major thread running unbroken through the whole story of the Bible. It is important for Christians to understand how this principle relates to human choice and responsibility.
2. Examples Of Election And Rejection
a) Isaac
i) Abraham had a son Ishmael by his wife's slave-girl Hagar. But election was at work. "Cast out the bond-woman and her son, for in Isaac shall your seed be called" (Genesis 21:10-12) . One factor in this was the bond-woman and her son's disrespect for Abraham's true wife Sarah (Genesis 16:4-5; Genesis 21:9-10)
