The Children of the Promise

In this pamphlet, Rev. Herman Hoeksema expounds Romans 9:6-8 to explain the distinction between the children of the flesh and the children of promise, establishing God's sovereign election as the basis for understanding both Jewish rejection and Gentile inclusion in God's kingdom. Hoeksema grounds this doctrine in the absolute sovereignty of God's grace and the security of the elect, connecting Paul's triumphant affirmation of believer's perseverance in Romans 8 with the apostle's contemplation of Israel's sorrowful plight.
