First Baptist Church of Ferndale WA - online media Pastor Dave Lunsford

In Romans 9, Paul talks about his burden for his unsaved Jewish brothers and shows us how deeply he is concerned for them.

At the end of the 8th chapter of Romans, Paul puts together a list of extremes to show us that absolutely nothing can get past the sovereignty of God to try to separate us from His love for us.

God's love and sovereignty, through Christ's work on the cross, show us that He provides the ultimate security for our future with Him.

God provides absolute security and sovereignty, as only He can. God is always in control of allthings and is constantly at work in accomplishing His plan.

Being glorified is the fifth link in the great chain of salvation. Being glorified is God's final act, which He has seen from eternity past to eternity future, where He clothes us in the splendid image of Christ.

In Hosea chapter 12, we see God's desire for the Israelites and us.
