#33: Romans, Part 14 (Rom 8:29-30)

In this episode, Matt revisits Romans 8, specifically drawing attention to verses 29-30. These verses have for years been the subject of much attention, debate, and controversy. Do these verses teach that God has predestined some for eternal life? If so, does this mean that God also predestined some to eternal reprobation? If so, what does this say about the nature and character of God and human free will? To answer these questions, Matt gives a brief overview of the various conceptions of free will, as well as offers thoughts on how God's love factors into the equation. In the end, Matt offers a christological conception of election as an alternative to theories which conceive of election as individualistic in nature. + + + Don't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!
