The Justice of God

The sermon addresses the theological objection that God's sovereign election renders Him unrighteous by arguing that His justice is defined by His own revealed character rather than human standards. It examines Paul's distinction between national Israel and the spiritual Israel of promise, emphasizing that salvation is based on divine choice rather than human works or lineage. The text highlights the potter and clay analogy to assert that creatures have no right to question the Creator's purposes, while also demonstrating God's long-suffering patience as He works out the salvation of the elect. Ultimately, the doctrine of predestination is presented not as a source of condemnation, but as a foundation for profound humility, security, and gratitude for the unmerited grace of God.
