Why Does God Extend Mercy to Some and Not Others? | February 2
Why does God choose to extend mercy to some while withholding it from others? In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 11:25-30, where Jesus praises the Father for revealing His truth to the humble while hiding it from the proud. This passage, alongside the Westminster Confession of Faith (3.7), highlights God's sovereign will in granting mercy and executing justice.
Bible Passage: Matthew 11:25-30
