God's sovereign choice; election understood through divine mercy and power
The Cherubim and Seraphim Church affirms God's sovereign choice as expressed in Romans 9:18-21. The Church's theology, influenced by African spirituality and Christian tradition, emphasizes God's absolute power and sovereignty in all things. God's election and choice are understood as expressions of divine mercy and grace, and believers are called to recognize and submit to God's sovereign purposes.
This affirmation aligns with the Church's emphasis on the supernatural power of God and the divine prerogative in salvation and healing. The potter-clay metaphor is interpreted as illustrating the believer's appropriate posture of submission to the divine will.
