Episode notes
Election Is A Biblical Term
- The Greek word eklēsiā (eklage) means to pick out or choose and appears three times in Scripture in Romans 9, Romans 11, and 2 Peter 1.
- Elizabeth Urbanowicz emphasizes that election is a biblical concept everyone in historic Christianity should acknowledge.
Disagreement About How Election Works
- Christians agree election is biblical but disagree about its mechanism: unconditional choice versus choice based on foreknowledge.
- Urbanowicz avoids adjudicating the views and instead focuses on shared certainties.
Those Who Seek Will Find God
- A central biblical truth is that those who seek the Lord will find him, shown across Old and New Testament passages.
- Urbanowicz cites Deuteronomy, Psalms, Jeremiah, Joel, Matthew, Acts, Romans, and Hebrews to support this promise.
