Sovereignty
Theology Proper · 5 verses
God's sovereignty is His absolute, universal, and eternal dominion over all creation, executing His will in heaven and earth without hindrance or limitation. He reigns supreme over all events, ordaining whatsoever comes to pass for His own glory. The sovereignty of God is the believer's refuge and the foundation of all assurance.
