God's sovereignty and His ability are intertwined; His power is exercised in accordance with His divine authority over all creation.
The doctrine of God's sovereignty emphasizes His ultimate authority and control over every aspect of creation. God's ability to perform His will and keep His promises—evidenced in Romans 4 through Abraham's faith—shows the harmony between his sovereignty and ability. In Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges God’s dominion, emphasizing that God does according to His will. The believer's understanding of God's sovereignty fosters trust that He is capable of executing His purposes, both in salvation and in daily life, assuring them that nothing occurs outside of His command.
