3. In regards to Romans 8:29, why is “foreknew” presented with predestination? (14:41)

1. Verses
   • John
     • John 10
   • Romans
     • Romans 8:29 – God Works In All Things ( Link )
       • And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
       • For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
       • And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.…
     • Romans 9:13
       • As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
         ( Link )

5. How can we explain the law and preach the gospel today? (21:10)

1. John MacArthur
   • Sinner
     • When it comes to the sinner, the only ally you have is the Law
       • If he knows the Law
         • You have the law of God written
       • If he does know the Law
         • You have the Law of God in his heart ( Roman 2 )
         • Law of God in the Heart is activated by his conscience which either accusses or excuses
       • Conscience given by God

9. Since God is love and love does not seek its own, how do we reconcile that with God doing everything for His own pleasure? (41:06)

1. John MacArthur
   • His love sought us
   • He found pleasure in our eternal pleasure and reconciliation with him
