EXAMPLES OF ELECTION & REJECTION: JACOB
(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) Jacob
i) God had already chosen between the twins Jacob and Esau before they were even born (Genesis 25:23, Romans 9:11-13). However, we would be foolish to conclude that God took no account whatever that Esau would despise his birthright.
