Bible Question: explain how the birth of esau and jacob show god's supreme sovereignty |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Rom 9:11-16 .................. God's day to you, g2dove, Rom 9:11 God chooses according to his own plan, not our actions. Rom 9:12 The older will serve the younger" This happened before they were born (Gen 25:23). Rom 9:13 When God said, "I loved Jacob and hated Esau" it shows how lopsided it was (Mal 1:2–3). Rom 9:14 This doesn't make God unjust, as many would think Paul anticipates our human response perfectly: Doesn’t that make God unjust? Of course not. God has every right to do as he pleases God told Moses, “I will show mercy to whomever I choose” (Exo 33:19). Rom 9:16 God’s selection is not conditional on human effort, but on God’s purposes. |
