There are many topics in Scripture that can lead to controversy and unfortunately separation from true Christians when we should really still be together as one in spite of many of our differences. Certainly, one of the greatest topics of battles through the years has been the issue of election, which was basically defined and codified in John Calvin's famous work "The Institutes of the Christian Religion." This episode of 2Days Denarius focuses on a short devotional by the famous late minister and author A. W. Tozer, in which he, in short and strait order, laid out a small case in favor of God's choosing grace and dependence on Him over a man-made decision process in one's salvation. This podcast graciously covers this topic from some biblical and historical viewpoints. We should never afraid to look at difficult topics in Scripture. They are there for us to study with open heart and mind, through the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit. Let's take a listen together and praise God for his Amazing Grace!
Devotional reading for this episode comes from "Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings" by A. W. Tozer and Gerald B. Smith, 2008. Chicago: Moody Publishers.
