God's sovereignty is affirmed throughout Scripture, showcasing His supreme power over all creation and His ability to govern the universe without any need from us.
The sovereignty of God is a foundational doctrine of Reformed theology rooted in Scripture. It asserts that God is in control of all events in the universe and operates according to His divine will and purpose. Passages like Isaiah 46:9-10 declare, 'I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning.' This sovereignty ensures that God's plans cannot be thwarted, providing believers with assurance and hope. His independence and omnipotence underscore that He requires nothing from humanity for His plans to unfold, as seen in Acts 17:25. Therefore, recognizing God's sovereignty is essential for understanding His attributes and our relationship to Him.
