No Greater Love Radio Pastor Jeff Cramer

Two powerful truths that we see laced throughout the OT & NT is God’s sovereignty & man’s responsibility. How do these two principles work themselves out? Has God chosen me or did I choose Him? Am I following His plan or does He give me liberty to choose? If He knows whether I will accept or reject His gift of salvation, does He still offer it to me? God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. Today we’re studying through Romans 9 where Paul emphasizes God’s sovereignty towards the Jewish people. We have a big theological word that is taught here called predestination, which basically means “God’s sovereign choice to save some and not others” Pastor Jeff will be giving us four truths about predestination to help us understand this concept. 

Have you ever wondered how God can bring about something good in a bad situation? the Bible is filled with story after story about the struggles of Godly people who have trusted God in the midst of disaster, submitted to God when their prayers go unanswered, and remains faithful even when they were suffering. They were able to do this because they knew the character of God and they looked beyond the trial they were facing. Through all of this, we see that God continues to work at bringing about beauty from ashes because His love remains steadfast toward His people. Nothing can separate us from God’s love! Today we’re focusing on the end of chapter 8 in Romans where Paul underscores this principle. Because of God’s enduring love, we can confidently move forward facing the greatest of obstacles!

When you were growing up, what were some of the milestones you looked forward to? Was it driving at the age of 16? Was it voting at age 18? Maybe it was becoming a full grown adult at age 21? Whatever the privilege that came with each of these milestones in our culture, there’s also great responsibility! That’s the concept that we see taught in Romans 8. As we grow in our faith we come to understand our identity as Children of God. Which brings with it great privilege of intimacy & relationship with God as adopted sons and daughters. But with privilege comes responsibility to live according to the Spirit, putting to death the deeds of the flesh. Paul is emphasizing that this is a call to maturity and holiness! We can’t just enjoy the benefits of our relationship with God without actively participating in the sanctification, or changing process. What does this look like practically? Let’s join Pastor Jeff in a message titled “Under New Management”
