If We Can’t Resist Being Chosen, What Can We Resist? — Election and Free Will Explained @STRvideos

Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Greg responds to a sign he saw that read, “Knowledge is not faith,” then he answers questions from a caller about how God can be sovereign over our decisions and just at the same time, how God can blame people he didn’t save, and where free will ends.

0:00 Introduction
1:38 Faith is not opposed to knowledge.
33:06 How is God sovereign over our decisions and just at the same time, how can he blame people he didn’t save, and where does free will end—i.e., if we can’t resist being chosen, what decisions can we resist?
