II. Some Apparent “Problem” Passages

A. 1 Timothy 2:6

  v.1 – in the light of v. 2 – All kinds of men.
  It makes sense to carry that meaning to the
  “all” in the rest of the passage (v. 4 and 6).

B. 2 Peter 3:9

“Longsuffering toward us.” Not everyone – but
longsuffering toward Christians (the elect).

Not willing that ANY OF US should perish – but
that ALL OF US should come to repentance.

C. 2 Peter 2:1

  Two key words –
     despotes = Lord (or Sovereign Lord)
     agorazo = “bought”

(See Sermon 5 in the 2 Peter series for a more
extensive treatment).

III. The Blessings of God in Redemption

1. Our redemption is a sovereign work of God –
   1 Cor. 1:26-31

2. Our redemption is the reason Christ came into
   the world – Mark 10:45

3. Our redemption frees us from the curse of the
   law – Gal. 3:13 (10-14)

4. Our redemption frees us from sin – Eph. 1:7
