… He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the objects of His mercy, whom He
prepared in advance for glory— even us, whom he also called…” ( 9:23-24)
It All Depends on Our God of Mercy!
1. 3 aspects of the callings of God: – i. of riches of His glorious inheritance (Eph 1:18); ii. His call is heavenly (Heb 3:1); iii. call to a holy life (2 Tim1:9) — calls you into His kingdom & glory & be moulded into a glorious vessel in His hands! (1 Thessalonians 2:12)
2. We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God . (Acts 14:22) — it takes a lifetime to be crafted to become useful & valuable vessels in Him
3. No matter how harsh life is on us, the mercy of God conquers all! — in the process of pressing, jiggering, shaping, glazing, firing, polishing by a potter, don’t we feel distressed, agonized, humiliated, unbearable? Hallelujah! By the grace of God, we endure all !
