Publisher's Synopsis
This is a well-written book! The author does a couple of things well. First, she doesn't shy away from stating the difficult question and its ramifications: if God, predestines some people for damnation, how can we worship him? Secondly, she goes on, within a couple hundred very readable pages mind you, to answer the question in a satisfying way.
Romans 9 has triggered arguments across the Church for centuries.
Did God predestine some for salvation and others for damnation? Do we come into the world with our fates already sealed? Does God choose some to love and some to hate? Instead of wrestling with the questions, it can be easier to ignore them altogether. But there's another way to look at Romans 9. Join Bible teacher Beth Ann Smith as she explores Romans 9 verse by verse to discover if God loves everybody.
-How and why did God harden Pharaoh's heart?
-Does God make some people be vessels of wrath?
-Did God love Jacob and hate Esau?
