God's Sovereignty--A Central Point to Faith
As I've been meditating and thinking about the Sovereignty of God, I realize just how critical the Christian's faith is to this one central point. Of course, it is not the only thing central to our faith but believing that our God is Sovereign and can do whatever He wills is crucial for all believers. It's been a real blessing to me to have my eyes opened to this truth. Here are seven verses that talk directly about or otherwise address the Sovereignty of God.
