The Sons of Abraham, the Sons of Isaac, & the Sovereign Mercy of God

In Genesis 25 we see God sovereignly-chooses which son preserves the line of promise and inherits his covenant-blessings. God chooses Isaac over Ishmael and the sons of Keturah and God chooses Jacob over Esau. None of these individuals did anything to earn or deserve God’s choice. All this highlights God’s electing-mercy in salvation – that you might grow in humble-confidence before our sovereign God. We see this in two parts: 1) the Sons of Abraham and 2) the Sons of Jacob.
