The Bible presents a sovereign God who does all that He pleases, contrasting the Arminian view of a limited deity constrained by human free will.
The Bible emphasizes God's sovereignty and total control over creation, as stated in Psalm 115:3, 'Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases.' This stands in stark contrast to the Arminian perspective, which portrays a God who is subject to human will and unable to accomplish His desires fully. Key texts such as Ephesians 1:11 affirm that God works all things according to the counsel of His will, underscoring the Reformed belief that God's purposes are ultimate and unchangeable, regardless of human action or resistance. Therefore, Arminianism's notion of a God whose plans can be thwarted by human choice is fundamentally at odds with these scriptural truths.
