The Book of Romans, Part 82: The Problem of Pharaoh (Rom. 9:14-18)
Manage episode 517883039 series 2077500
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 12, 2025)
In our study of the first objection to the doctrine of election, we come to a couple of verses that some propose to be a problem for those of us who believe in God’s sovereign grace. In Romans 9:17-18, Paul writes this about Pharaoh: “Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.” Does this mean that God stirred up Pharaoh to act so wickedly? Did He cause Pharaoh to commit all those evil acts? The answer is a resounding “No,” as we will see in the sermon today. Join us as we finish up with our examination of the first objection to the doctrine of election, and deal with the so-called “problem” of Pharaoh.
