The Sovereignty of God in Scripture (Part 2)
God's Sovereignty and Man's SalvationSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the concept of the sovereignty of God as presented in scripture. He argues that while God is sovereign over all things, including individual's destinies, this does not mean that he micromanages every aspect of human life, nor necessarily determines every outcome. Rather, God has given people free will and expects them to make choices, though he sometimes intervenes in human affairs. Gregg emphasizes the importance of understanding these nuances when interpreting biblical passages about God's sovereignty.
