Who’s Truly Sovereign?
Many Christians think they believe that God is sovereign, but upon closer inspection, they actually believe that man is in control. Today, R.C. Sproul clarifies what God’s sovereignty really means.
The more I read Scripture, the more I see the emphasis. Not the tangential, peripheral consideration, but the emphasis of Scripture on the sovereignty of God. I’ve said many times, I’ve never met a Christian who said to me they don’t believe that God is sovereign. Every Christian says they believe that God is sovereign. But let me be honest with you: when I begin to interrogate Christians about their understanding of the sovereignty of God, in about five minutes, it becomes apparent that there is precious little sovereignty there. Precious little. Most Christians salute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sovereignty of man. They don’t believe that God ordains whatsoever comes to pass.
