Scripture asserts that God holds the future as He has sealed it in a book of His eternal purpose.
God's sovereignty over the future is a fundamental doctrine of historic Reformed theology, supported by the understanding that God has a preordained plan encapsulated in His eternal purpose. Revelation 5 depicts God holding a sealed book that contains all things according to His sovereign will. The idea that nothing happens outside this divine plan gives believers confidence that their destinies, as well as the fate of the world, are secured in God's unchangeable decree. This understanding assures us that God's providence governs all events, aligning them with His greater glory and the good of His people.
