Sovereignty! What a big word. What a pregnant word. The Sovereignty of God. All Christians would avow that great doctrine/truth. But it wouldn’t take 5 minutes of discussion to discover that the understanding of that word differs widely among Christians.
The apostle John contributes this: “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven (John 3:27, ESV).
Chew on that a moment: “even one thing,” “unless,” “given him.” That is a statement of God’s sovereignty.
Rightly grasped, it will take your breath away. Everything I now possess I have received from the sovereign, good hand of my Heavenly Father.
Doesn’t leave much room for boasting now does it?
