How do we know God's sovereignty in building the Church is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty is demonstrated through historical events and His fulfillment of promises, such as during Pentecost when He added thousands to the Church.
The sovereignty of God in building His Church is affirmed through historical instances in Scripture, particularly during the events of Pentecost described in Acts 2. Here, we see the fulfillment of God's promise as Peter preached the Gospel and the Holy Spirit empowered the message, resulting in the conversion of three thousand souls. This exemplifies God's control over salvation and His ability to gather His people in accordance with His divine will. Moreover, the prophecy indicating that 'the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come,' underscores that God acts decisively in history to build His Church and demonstrates His providential care.
