How "sovereign" is God’s sovereignty?




To be sovereign means to have the supreme power or to be superior to all others.

Although this definition is simple and very plain enough, people would also attach some other attributes to it for God and take it to another evil extreme.

God’s Sovereignty simply means all authorities submit to Him; He is above all, and subject to none!

Two Kinds of Righteousness Every Human Being Must Know

2 Kinds of righteousness


Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (Romans 10:1-3 KJV)


There are two kinds of righteousness every human being must be aware of. It is a must because failure to know this is highly catastrophic both in this world and in that to come. For they being ignorant of… and beating about the bush in fruitless effort to establish… Friend, do not be ignorant. After Job had been through hell and was yet undelivered, God responded to his foolish words. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? (Job 38:1-2 KJV). So the Proverbs writer said: "Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is] not good;" (Proverbs 19:2 KJV). So every human being must know this: believers and unbelievers alike. Did God not say: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6 KJV)?
