1 | Whose will causes a believer to sin? | Rev 13:8 | Morant61 | 88034 | ||
Greetings Prazn! Thanks for the input! This great passage speaks of two great themes - God's will and God's mercy. The interesting thing is that other Scripture tell us explictly what God's will is and upon whom God wants to have mercy. Consider the following! 1) 1 Tim. 2:4 - "who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 'Wants' is the same verb used in Rom. 9. 2) 2 Pet. 3:9 - "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." This verse uses a different word for 'will', but it has pretty much the same meaning. 3) Rom. 11:32 - "For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all." So, our interpretation of Rom. 9 must also consider these very clear statements concerning God's will and His mercy. Any attempt to restrict God's mercy does violence to these very clear statements. Just some more food for thought! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
