Romans 9 Explained Part 5 - Isaac & Ishmael = Faith Vs. Works (Answering Calvinism)

In this episode Jordan continues through Romans 9 and discusses
Paul’s usage of the story of Isaac and Ishmael. Why does Paul
bring up this story? What is he using these Old Testament figures
to illustrate? How do they further his argument that God has
chosen faith in Christ over works as the way to receive
salvation? This episode answers those questions. Romans 9 is not
primarily exalting “God’s sovereignty” but rather is exalting
“God’s sovereignty IN CHRIST.” Though this may seem like a
trivial distinction, it makes all the difference in accurately
understanding the Spirit’s revelation in Romans 9.
