Bible Note: "God's decree is his eternal purpose whereby he has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. Scripture everywhere affirms that whatsoever is and comes to pass, is the realization of God's thought and will, and has it's origin and idea in God's eternal counsel or decree, Genesis 1; Job 28:27; Proverbs 8:22; Psalm104:24; Proverbs 3:19; Jeremiah 10:12; 51:15; Hebrews 11:3; Psalms 33:11; Isaiah 44:24-27; 46:10; Proverbs 19:21; Acts 2:23; 4:28; Ephesians 1:11; etc. Even human deeds are based upon deliberation and consideration: in the case of rational beings thinking and purposing precede acting and doing. In a far more exalted sense this is true with respect to the Lord our God: apart from His knowledge and will nothing can ever come to pass. Accordingly, all Christians accept a divine decree as such." --Herman Bavinck "The sovereignty of the God of Scripture is absolute, irresistible, and infinite. When we say that God is sovereign, we affirm His right to govern the universe, which He has made for His own glory, just as He pleases. We affirm that His right is the right of the Potter over the clay, viz. that He may mold that clay into whatsoever form He chooses, fashioning out of the same lump one vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor. We affirm that He is under no rule or law outside His own will and nature, that God is a law unto Himself, and that He is under no obligation to give an account of His matters to any. ...none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purposes, or resist His will." --A. W. Pink "Although the sovereignty of God is universal and absolute, it is not the sovereignty of blind power. It is coupled with infinite wisdom, holiness, and love. And this doctrine, when properly understood, is a most comforting and reassuring one. Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness, and love, rather than to have them left to fate or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to shortsighted and perverted self? Those who reject God's sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left." --Lorraine Boetner |
