Episode notes
Election Is Comfort, Not Condemnation
- Election is a doctrine given for the comfort of believers, not for condemning others.
- It reassures Christians that God secures and sustains their salvation from eternity to the end.
Mystery Limits Human Reason
- Some doctrines (Trinity, Eucharist, election) are mysteries beyond human reason but revealed in Scripture.
- Accepting them by faith prevents creating heresies from making reason the authority over God's revelation.
Romans 8 Frames Election Holistically
- Romans 8 links foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification as one saving chain.
- Predestination means God chose in eternity those he saves by giving them faith in time through means.
