God is described as the sovereign ruler over all. He created everything and has all power, knowledge, and attributes such as love, grace, mercy, and holiness. While God is sovereign, the document asserts that mankind possesses free will to obey or disobey God's will. It provides examples from the Bible where people rebelled against or defied God's sovereignty. The document argues that God permits both good and evil events according to his sovereignty, but that he himself does not directly cause people to do evil due to his holy nature.

1. THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF THE
SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
SOVEREIGN
GOD

2. WHO IS THIS
SOVEREIGN
WHO IS THIS
SOVEREIGN
?

3. Isaiah 45:6,14,18,21&22
---And there is no
other(SOVEREIGN)
besides Me,
A righteous(SOVERIEGN)
and a Savior;
There is none except me.

4. Exodus 3:14
And (SOVERIEGN)God said
to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM";
and He said, "Thus you shall
say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM
has sent me to you.' "
IS SELF-EXISTENCE (ETERNAL)

5. Matthew 19:26
And looking upon them
Jesus said to them, "With
men this is impossible, but
with(SOVEREIGN) God all
things are possible."
Is all powerful!

6. Psalm 147:4&5
He counts the number of the stars; He
gives names to all of them.
Great is our(SOVERIEGN)Lord, and
abundant in strength; His
understanding is infinite.
KNOWS ALL!

7. God’s sovereignty is exercised in perfect
harmony with His character and attributes:
ATTRIBUTE OF LOVE
1 John 4:8
---- for (SOVEREIGN)God is love.
John 3:16
For (SOVEREIGN)God so LOVED the
world,----

8. God’s sovereignty is exercised in perfect
harmony with His character and attributes:
ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE
Psalm 84:11
----(SOVEREIGN)Jehovah will give GRACE and
glory;-----
Luke 2:40
----- and the GRACE of (SOVEREIGN)God
was upon Him.

9. God’s sovereignty is exercised in perfect
harmony with His character and attributes:
ATTRIBUTE OF MERCY
Romans 9:16
------but of (SOVEREIGN)God that
hath MERCY.
Ephesians 2:4
but (SOVEREIGN)God, being rich in
MERCY, for his great love wherewith he
loved us,

10. God’s sovereignty is exercised in perfect
harmony with His character and attributes:
ATTRIBUTE OF HOLINESS
Isaiah 6:3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy,
holy, is (SOVERIEGN)Jehovah of hosts: ------
Revelation 15:4
Who shall not fear, O (SOVERIEGN)Lord, and glorify
thy name? for thou only art holy; --------

11. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE
SOVERIEGN GOD CREATED MAN WITH
FREE -WILL. MAN CAN CHOOSE NOT TO
OBEY GOD’S WILL.
THE BIBLE ITSELF CONTAINS MANY
EXAMPLES OF MEN DEFYING
(SOVERIEGN)GOD’S WILL AND
DISOBEYING HIM!

12. “CHILDREN” DISOBEYING
(SOVERIEGN)GOD:
Isaiah 1:2
Hear, O heavens, and give ear,
O earth; for Jehovah hath
spoken: I have nourished and
brought up children, and they
have rebelled against me.

13. JESUS SAID:
Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father who is
in heaven.
MAN ,BY HIS FREE-WILL, MUST CHOOSE
TO DISOBEY OR OBEY GOD’S WILL!!

14. When things are not going well,
many Christians USE the expression
“GOD IS IN CONTROL”
Questions??
What about when Satan rebelled and Adam and Eve
disobeyed and sin entered mankind?
Really--- Is God’s will being done in this world of multiplied
evil and wickedness?
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE
THE ANSWER TO BOTH
QUESTIONS IS NO!!!

15. ACCORDING TO HIS
WILL GOD
PROVIDENTIALLY
PERMITS OR DIRECTS
ALL EVENTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES!!

16. ACCORDING TO HIS
WILL GOD
PROVIDENTIALLY
PERMITS MAN’S
FREE-WILL CHOSE
WITH ITS
CONSEQUENCES!!

17. MAN, BY HIS FREE-WILL, MUST CHOOSE TO
OBEY (SOVERIEGN)GOD’S WILL!
Joshua 24:15
---- choose you this
day whom ye will
serve; -----

18. BECAUSE THE SOVERIEGN GOD IS ABSOUTELY
HOLY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DO EVIL OR
TO CAUSE OTHERS TO DO EVIL!
James 1:13-14
Let no man say when he is tempted, I
am tempted of God; for God cannot be
tempted with evil, and he himself
tempteth no man:
but each man is(by his own chose)
tempted, when he is drawn away by
his own lust, and enticed.

19. THE SOVERIEGN GOD DID NOT “TEMPT” ABRAHAM TO DO
EVIL BUT TO PROVE HIS FAITH AND OBEDIENCE!
Genesis 22:1 (KJV)
And it came to pass after these
things, that God did tempt(nacah)
Abraham, and said unto him,
Abraham: and he said, Behold, here
I am.
Note: THE HEBREW WORD IS nacah WHICH MEANS TO
TEST OR PROVE!
