What does the Bible say about God's continual work in Providence?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible emphasizes that God is continually active in His creation, governing and preserving His works in Providence.
Scripture teaches that God does not merely create but actively sustains all things. In John 5:17, Jesus asserts, 'My Father is working until now, and I am working.' This indicates that God’s work continues after creation, as He upholds and governs all that He has made. The doctrine of Providence affirms that God is involved in every aspect of life, maintaining order and purpose in the universe. In Acts 14:17, it is stated, 'Yet He left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness,' indicating His ongoing provision and governance through natural means. The Christian view recognizes God's unceasing activity and care in both mundane and extraordinary events, demonstrating His sovereignty and faithfulness.
