Romans 9:6-13

How did God rescue me?  How am I different?

2 timothy 2:24,25 - 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth


Ephesians 2:1,5
John 6:65
What kind of attitude am I bringing God today? 
Problem: 
Contradiction vs apparent contradiction (dog at vet example - dog thinks it's just awful and that it is forsaken.  another example he made was light particles vs light waves.  They are both light but we don't understand it.  
Have confidence that evangelism will work, and give God all the credit.  
God's love is unmerited favor.  

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

God's purpose of election is introduction and unconditional.  It is not in opposition to human freedom or genetic or earned.  

God desires all to be saved.  
God is all powerful. 
All are not saved.  


Give me less mystery and reassure me always.  
God is one in essence but three in personage.
