Election (1 of 7)

Summary

The preacher highlights Paul's sorrow over Israel's rejection of Christ and affirms that election is based on God's purpose and calling, not human effort or fairness. The message underscores God's mercy in choosing some for salvation and the spiritual distinction between natural and elect Israel.
