Wednesday, July 3, 2024 Romans 9:18-21 “The Potter’s Great Purpose, Part 1”

Don’t fall into the trap of questioning the justice of God! We can easily make some wrong assumptions about the implications of His sovereignty. We must always distinguish between God working in people in ways related to “positions” He has place them in, and the way God works in people in ways related to “personal relationship with God”.  No one can resist “positionally” God movement in decisions being made, but on the “personal relationship with God” level, a person can very much choose to resist acting properly in response to the conviction (which is irresistible) in their hearts about whether to repent and believe. While we are very much “lumps of clay”, we are also much more than merely clay – we are created in the image of God!
