The Book of Romans, Part 72: Wishing Ourselves Accursed I (Rom. 9:1-8)

Summary

In this sermon, Pastor Chris McCoo explores Romans 9:1-8, focusing on Paul's deep sorrow and zeal for the salvation of his Jewish brethren. He distinguishes between eternal salvation, which is secure and sovereignly given by God, and timely salvation, which pertains to earthly deliverance and repentance. The message emphasizes that Paul's wish to be accursed for his people is a hypothetical expression of his evangelistic zeal, not a desire for eternal damnation. The sermon also highlights the unchanging nature of God's election and the assurance believers have in Christ's redemptive work.
