The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Job 23:13


Title:  Whatever he pleases

It is practically wise that God, with his limitless power, be able to control the affairs of nature and history because he knows the whole story, we don’t.

Isn’t it just sensible for someone who knows all things to run the entire show?

Sovereignty is important when there are as many opinions as there are people.  God does whatever pleases him for the good of the redeemed, sometimes by way of discipline, and sometimes through circumstances difficult to make sense of, but always laden with grace sufficient for every situation in life.
