GOD’S
SOVEREIGNTY

Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

The Bible, Psalm 115:3

Either God is totally sovereign, ordaining, ruling, and disposing of all things as he will, or he has no control over anything and faith in him is an utter absurdity.

Author unknown

To say that God is sovereign is to say that His power is superior to every other form or expression of power; it is to say that God is completely free of external influences so that He does what He chooses, as He chooses, when He chooses.

James Bordwine

Absolute sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God. God’s sovereignty has ever appeared to me, a great part of his glory. It has often been my delight to approach God, and adore him as a sovereign God.

Jonathan Edwards

Being born again (regenerated), not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Pet. 1:23). The new birth is “by the Word of God.” That it is a sovereign act of God, by His Spirit, none can question. But this verse forbids us to separate, as has sometimes been done, new birth from faith in the gospel.

Samuel Ridout

Of all the doctrines of the Bible, none is so offensive to human nature as the doctrine of God’s sovereignty

J.C. Ryle

Oh! for a spirit that bows always before the sovereignty of God!

C.H. Spurgeon

Here is divine sovereignty –

“I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.”

C.H. Spurgeon
