The sovereignty of God is evidenced throughout Scripture, particularly in His promises and actions regarding His chosen people, Israel.
God's sovereignty is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology, demonstrating His absolute authority over all creation. Scriptures such as Romans 8:28 affirm that 'in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' The Lord's promises to Israel, as affirmed by Moses when he states 'the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel,' illustrate that He has a predetermined plan for His people. This sovereignty reveals that God is not only aware of our circumstances but is actively orchestrating events for His glory and our good. It's essential to understand sovereignty through the lens of grace, emphasizing that salvation is entirely God's work, independent of human merit.
