God's sovereignty ensures that judgment is just, distinguishing between the righteous and the wicked according to His divine wisdom.
God's sovereignty plays a vital role in the final judgment as outlined in Matthew 25. In this judgment, Christ, the sovereign Lord, will separate the righteous from the wicked, a process entirely under His authority and wisdom. This is underscored by the assertion that the Father has committed all judgment to the Son, who is perfectly just and capable of discerning the hearts of all people. The sovereignty of God assures believers that His judgments are not arbitrary but are executed with perfect righteousness and mercy. This understanding brings comfort to believers, knowing that God will uphold justice and reward faithfulness while punishing unrighteousness in accordance with His eternal decree.
