EXAMPLES OF ELECTION & REJECTION: JOSEPH

(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) Joseph 

i) Election and rejection continued beyond the time of the Promises to Abraham. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, dreamed that he would rule over his brothers. His brothers rejected the God-given dream and sold Joseph to slavery in Egypt (Genesis 37) . God chose Joseph for greatness. 


The End ...
