God's Sovereign Choice - Romans 9: 15-21

God is the sovereign God who is equally sovereign and merciful He's decided according to His wise decree those that will bow before His rule It's not dependent on human will nor any of your own exertion but wholly of God's loving mercy such is His unfailing compassion Scripture declares God told Pharaoh I raised you up by my almighty power to show it in my sovereign purpose for My name be proclaimed like a divine shower The mercy of God falls on His choice those chosen by His irresistible grace for God has mercy on who He will this is God author of Redemption's case The potter has authority over the clay making one for His honourable use the other fitted for dishonourable but only God's sovereignty can choose Let's give thanks to this God for mercy unearned and undeserved to us who deserve His wrath receive salvation freely preserved AUTHOR NOTES: Romans 9:15-21(KJV) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
