SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
What Is the Sovereignty of God?
The term "sovereign" denotes the right that God has to rule the Universe. Note that the word "reign" is contained within "sovereign."
Jehovah has this "right" because he is the Creator, and therefore the Owner, of everything that has been made (Psa. 24:1; Mt. 20:15). Does not the potter have a "right" over the clay (see Rom. 9:20-21; cf. Eph. 1:11)?
It is the epitome of arrogance to suggest otherwise (cf. Isa. 29:16). If one expects to enjoy heaven, he must yield to the sovereign will of God as made known through the sacred Scriptures (see 1 Chron. 29:11; Ezek. 18:4; Dan. 4:35).
