We will examine the biblical perspective on God’s sovereignty. What does this actually mean? Does sovereignty indicate that every detail in our lives is predetermined? Does this exempt us from consequences for our own actions? Should we even preach the gospel if it is already predetermined who will be saved and who will not? What is the point of praying if we simply do not possess the power to change an iota of the future?
Deep questions indeed, and they could be divisive, too! In fact, entire denominations have been started due to their understandings or misunderstandings concerning God’s sovereignty. Without creating any more confusion, we want to bring clarity to the matter by balancing scripture with God’s consistent character and man’s responsibility.
