1 | God is sovereign: So, why pray ? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 202629 | ||
Hi John, While it is evident that God is sovereign, we, as believers are instructed to pray. God's being sovereign does not imply a "couch-potato" Christian! Suffice 4 NT verse as evidence: Phil. 4:6;Col. 4:2;1 Thess. 5:17; 1 Tim. 2:1-2. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | God is sovereign: So, why pray ? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 202630 | ||
Dear Brother Brad, I don't think that that is what Barth is saying. He is simply affirming that God has foreordained means. The fact that we pray at all is because God has stirred such a desire in our hearts beforehand. Therefore, we press on in prayer confident that God has effectually predetermined that we should be people who press on in prayer! :-) John Piper expands on the subject in "The Sovereignty of God and Prayer" which can be read here: http://bible.christianity.com/StudyResources/11540550/page1/ In Him, Doc |
