How does God's sovereignty relate to the creation of light?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty is evident in His command over creation, asserting that His will determines all that exists, including light.
The sovereignty of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, particularly in the act of creation. In Genesis 1, when God commands, 'Let there be light,' it is a demonstration of His absolute authority. The immediate coming into existence of light upon His command underscores that God’s word is effective and will not return void. This sovereignty extends beyond just creation; it illustrates that God maintains control over all things, including the spiritual realm where light represents truth and righteousness, in contrast to the darkness of sin. By understanding this sovereignty, believers can find assurance in God's purpose and order in their lives.
