Romans 9 Explained Part 5 - Isaac & Ishmael = Faith Vs. Works (Answering Calvinism)

In this episode Jordan continues through Romans 9 and discusses Paul’s usage of the story of Isaac and Ishmael. Why does Paul bring up this story? What is he using these Old Testament figures to illustrate? How do they further his argument that God has chosen faith in Christ over works as the way to receive salvation? This episode answers those questions. Romans 9 is not primarily exalting “God’s sovereignty” but rather is exalting “God’s sovereignty IN CHRIST.” Though this may seem like a trivial distinction, it makes all the difference in accurately understanding the Spirit’s revelation in Romans 9.
