What happens when we harden our hearts to the gospel? Listen to Adrian Rogers. God never made anybody

to go to hell. God wants people saved. He wants you saved. And if you harden your heart, God may harden it also.

The Bible speaks of those who are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. God does not create a man in order to damn him.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding, featuring real truth that never changes from Adrian Rogers.

There are three things we need to know about the character and nature of God that will bring our theology into sharp focus.

In part one of today's message, we learned of

God's sovereign choices and spotless character. God does not create people in order to destroy them.

If we want mercy, God will give us mercy. But if we harden our hearts, God will further harden our

hearts.

If you have your Bible, turn to Romans chapter 9, as Adrian Rogers concludes this powerful message, predestined for hell, absolutely not.

Now, there are three things I want you to learn today as we think about this.

Is man predestined for hell?

And they all three deal really with the character of God. Because until you understand the character of God, you don't know really anything

about salvation or anything else. Now, I didn't say understand God. None of us understand God.

But we understand some things that God has chosen to reveal to us about his

character. Now, God loves lost sinners. We're in the book of Romans. Put down Romans chapter 5 and

verse 8. If you think that God hates you, let me tell you, God doesn't hate you. You say,

well, I'm a sinner. He still loves you. Romans chapter 5, verse 8, but God commended his love,

his love toward us, and that while

we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God loves the lost. God loves sinners. Don't get the idea

that God predestined Esau to go to hell and God predestined Jacob to go to heaven.

Now, Esau may have gone to hell, but he wasn't predestined to go to hell.
