What is reprobation? Is it a biblical word? Is this only a corollary to election? Why are people reprobated? Can reprobation bring God praise? What counsel would you give to someone who thinks they are reprobate? Can this truth be used as a comfort for believers? These are some of the questions we address in today’s episode. Tune in as Nathan, Joel, Shawn, and Kyle discuss WCF 3.7:
The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He extends or withholds mercy, as He pleases, for the glory of His sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise of His glorious justice.
