What does God’s sovereignty mean for our lives? Why is this precious to us? I will state these reasons as exhortations. Because God is sovereign:
- Let us stand in awe of the sovereign authority and freedom and wisdom and power of God.
- And let us never trifle with life as though it were a small or light affair.
- Let us marvel at our own salvation— that God bought it and wrought it with sovereign power, and we are not our own.
- Let us groan over the God-belittling man-centeredness of our culture and much of the church.
- Let us be bold at the throne of grace, knowing that our prayers for the most difficult things can be answered. Nothing is too hard for God.
- Let us rejoice that our evangelism will not be in vain because there is no sinner so hard the sovereign grace of God cannot break through.
- Let us be thrilled and calm in these days of great upheaval because victory belongs to God, and no purposes that he wills to accomplish can be stopped.
