Romans 9:19-24: How to Become a Calvinist

In this sermon, Pastor Dale Partridge delves into the concept of divine election as explained by the Apostle Paul in Romans 9. Paul addresses the perplexing question of why many Jews reject Christ despite God's sovereignty over salvation. He clarifies that spiritual heritage is not based on ethnic lineage but on God's sovereign choice. Through examples like Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, and Esau, Paul demonstrates that God's election is independent of human actions or will. The sermon emphasizes that salvation is determined solely by God's mercy and will, challenging the common belief in free will and underscoring that humans are saved because God chose them, not the other way around.
