Theme: The Attributes of God
Like the other attributes of God, the sovereign attribute of God is quite interesting, deep and wide. So, there are quite a number of passages referenced. They are not the only ones and are helpful for personal studies. But for those leading the group discussions, you may have to decide ahead of time which ones to read in your group.
Key learning points:
1. Whereas the sovereignty of nations and monarchs are limited to their national boundaries, God’s sovereignty has no national, political, or racial boundaries – for He controls kings and is Lord over nations (Psalm 22:28, 72:11). Scripture calls Him King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14, 19:16).
2. God’s sovereignty allows Him to do whatever He pleases. His sovereignty does not refute free will He has given man. So, we are free to make choices, but the consequences of those choices are governed by the Laws God has put in place, along with His other attributes.
3. God’s sovereignty means assurance that HE will fulfill all His promises to His children; something to be grateful for. It also means that His judgment on those who reject Him will come to pass.
Let us praise the Lord for He is sovereign over all that He has made, in heaven and everywhere!!!
