Romans 9:6-12

Pastor Blaine continues through Romans 9:6–12, explaining that God's promises have not failed because true membership in God's people has never been based on physical ancestry but on His sovereign promise and gracious calling. Using the examples of Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau, he demonstrates that salvation is not earned by heritage, works, or human effort, but rests entirely on God's gracious choice. Blaine encourages believers to approach difficult doctrines like election with humility, trusting what Scripture clearly teaches even when it stretches human understanding. Throughout the sermon, he reminds Christians that God's sovereignty should produce confidence rather than fear, leading them to faithfully obey what God has called them to do while resting in the assurance that their salvation is secured by His grace alone.
