What does the Bible say about God's power to overturn self?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible describes God's power to overturn self through the metaphor of removing rulers and kings, ultimately establishing Christ as the rightful King in believers' hearts.
In Ezekiel 21:27, God declares, 'I will overturn, overturn, overturn it and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is and I will give it him.' This indicates a divine authority where God removes earthly kings and systems, establishing His ultimate King, Christ, who reigns in the hearts of true believers. The text illustrates how God actively dismantles pride and self-rule in believers, demonstrating His sovereign grace in overturning the natural man's rebellion against His divine kingship.
