1 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | jlhetrick | 163545 | ||
Hello humbled, Yes the subject does speak to the sovereignty of God. Speaking from experience I can say that it can be hard for some to accept or truly understand just how sovereign He is. When I was early in my walk with the Lord I struggled with this very story (of Pharoah)in the bible. Although I grew up in the church and already had a healthy respect for who God was and believed Him to be perfect in every way, I had a many month struggle with this passage. I just couldn't make it fair no matter how I looked at it or tried to rationalize it. It was some time before I got around to the passages in Romans that Mark taught through in this thread. Had there been somone like Mark around, or had there been such thing as the Internet (for public use that is) and this forum, it might have saved me a lot of heartache and struggle with doubt. And yes, it does give me reason to praise Him for His mercy and His grace. It's awesome to know that I was not saved because it was "fair", but becaue God chose me for His own. And I know myself. That God did save me is proof enough for me that He is merciful and full of grace. Thanks for your insight, Jeff |

Hi Brother Jeff, I like what you said "And I know myself. That God did save me is proof enough for me that He is merciful and full of grace". How true that is! The more you read God's word and see how corrupted and sinful man is, the more you sit there and say, yep that's me. Sounds just like me etc... And yet He showed mercy in spite of my ways and saved me. How humbling is that? How awesome is our God? How thankful we should be! Steve |
