Romans
A verse-by-verse Bible study class. This study covers Romans 9:17-23. These studies focus on what the Bible says, and what it means.
Topics covered: Overview (once again) of chapters 9 through 11 -- The difficulty of verse 18 exceeds that of verse 15, because it deals with God hardening (rather than having mercy) -- God exercises His sovereignty based on carrying out His purposes -- God exercises His sovereignty, consistent with His character -- Review of Exodus 33, from which verse 15 comes -- The history of the hardening of Pharaoh -- God’s purposes in hardening Pharaoh -- It’s OK to wrestle with God; it’s not OK to impugn His character -- God’s “pride” in His righteous and just character -- God’s sovereignty does not eliminate our responsibility to make the correct choices.
