God Deals Sovereignly with Everyone —
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The vessels of wrath and the vessels of mercy
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The meaning of the term, "vessels of wrath"
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are the ungodly reprobates, the wicked, the unbelievers whom God predestinated to serve the revelation and purpose of His wrath
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are the ones who live in time in disobedience to God and bear His wrath forever
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The vessels of wrath are prepared for destruction
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are on their way to eternal damnation
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are prepared for that by God
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They also want destruction
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The vessels of mercy
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are predestined to glory by God
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
They are prepared for glory by God
|
|
</li>

The Way God Works Sovereignly in Everyone
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The patience — endurance of God toward the "vessels of wrath" (the stranger in the home)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The longsuffering of God with the "vessels of mercy" (the surgeon operating on his son)
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Purpose God Has in His Sovereignty
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
To show His wrath and to make His power known enduring the vessels of wrath
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God's wrath is His righteous hatred of sin, and His righteous punishment of sin
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The vessels of wrath serve to carry out God's purpose in making His wrath known
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God makes His power known
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God is not in a power struggle to see who will win
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
All the powers of evil operate to serve God's purpose
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God makes known the riches of His glory upon the vessels of mercy prepared for glory
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
His election
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
His grace
