The Right of the Potter

The Right of the Potter

In Romans 9:14–23, the apostle Paul argues against the expected response of people who may think that election goes against man’s free will or against God’s justice. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven asks: Is there injustice on God’s part? Why does God still find fault, for who can oppose His will? What if God desires to show His wrath and to make His power known?

“But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Has the potter no right over the clay?”
