II. INTERPRETATION-----WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
FIND PRINCIPLES---THEN!

V-1.

• GOD CALLS MEN TO SERVE HIM—GOD’S CHOICE—(NO MAN CAN COME UNTO
ME EXCEPT IT IS GIVEN BY MY FATHER).

WHAT YOU WILL HAVE ME TO DO?”)—GOSPEL BECAME PAULS LIFE’S WORK.

V-3-4.
• PROVED TO BE SON OF GOD BY POWER---THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL IS
THE WORK OF CHRIST. AS HE IS BOTH DIVINE AND HUMAN, WE AS
BELIEVERS ALSO HAVE TWO NATURES WHICH WAR AGINST EACH OTHER.

FAITH. THE GOSPEL IS FOR ALL PEOPLE.
