Unshakeable Assurance Of God’s Love
- Paul offers a certitude that God's love for believers is unshakeable now and forever.
- This assurance covers both failures inside us and suffering outside us so nothing can separate us from Christ's love.
Joseph And Elisha At Dothan
- Keller contrasts Joseph's long suffering with Elisha's swift deliverance to show God works in both silence and action.
- Both kinds of answers serve the same purpose: God actively works all events together for ultimate good.
Both Free Will And Divine Sovereignty

- Our choices are real and responsible, yet God ordains outcomes so history fits his purposes.
