Monday, October 20th | Election: Salvation or Service?
About this episode
What exactly did Paul mean when he spoke of “election”? Was it about God choosing some for eternal salvation—or was it more about God appointing a people for service in His plan? In this episode, Dr. Abidan Shah dives into Romans 9, exploring how Paul uses the examples of Isaac, Jacob, and Esau to raise this question—and what it means for us today.
We’ll unpack:
- The evidence for a service-oriented election (God choosing a role or mission) vs. a salvation-oriented election(God choosing for eternal destiny).
- Why Paul’s major concern is the faithfulness of God’s promises despite Israel’s unbelief.
- How this affects our understanding of identity, calling, and the church’s mission.
Whether you’ve wrestled with election or you simply want to see how it shapes life in Christ, this conversation brings clarity, challenge, and hope.
