Paul explains that being loved by God is a privilege and being a Jew was no guarantee of redemption but it was an advantage. Dr. Sproul relates this to the church in that those unbelievers that attend have the advantage of hearing the word. Further distinction is made between the visible and invisible church noting that 80% of those in churches believe they can get to heaven by good works, not understanding religion provokes God's anger.

This sermon is from the Lord’s Day pulpit ministry of R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel near Orlando, Florida.
