DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Pink emphasizes the sovereignty of God as a foundational truth that
has been neglected in contemporary discourse. He explains that God's
sovereignty signifies His supremacy, kingship, and ultimate authority
over all creation, asserting that He acts according to His will without
opposition. Pink laments the loss of understanding regarding this
doctrine, which is essential for interpreting history and providence,
and for strengthening Christian faith. He highlights that acknowledging
God's sovereignty is crucial for recognizing His power and governance
over nations and kingdoms. Ultimately, Pink calls believers to reclaim
this vital truth that defines the nature of God as the Almighty.

The sovereignty of God is an expression that once was generally
understood. It was a phrase commonly used in religious literature. It
was a theme frequently expounded in the pulpit. It was a truth which
brought comfort to many hearts and gave virility and stability to
Christian character. But today, to make mention of God's sovereignty is,
in many quarters, to speak in an unknown tongue. Were we to announce
from the average pulpit that the subject of our discourse would be the
sovereignty of God, it would sound very much as though we had borrowed a
phrase from one of the dead languages. Alas! that it should be so.

Alas! that the doctrine which is the key to history, the interpreter of
providence, the warp and woof of scripture, and the foundation of
Christian theology should be so sadly neglected and so little
understood.

The "Sovereignty of God." What do we mean by this expression? We mean
the SUPREMACY of God, the KINGSHIP of God, the GODHOOD of God. To say
that God is sovereign is to declare that GOD IS GOD!

To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High,
"doing according to His will in the army of heaven and among the
inhabitants of the earth, so that none can stay His hand or say unto Him
what doest Thou? (Dan. 4:35), To say that God is sovereign is to declare
that He is the Almighty, the possessor of all power in heaven and earth
so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, nor resist His
will (Psa. 115:3). To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is
"the governor among the nations" (Psa. 22:28), setting, up kingdoms,
overthrowing empires, and determining the course of dynasties as pleases
Him best. To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the
"only potentate, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords" (I Tim.
6:15).

Such is the God of the Bible.
