Today, in many churches, people have a god that is not the work of their hands, but is surely the work of their minds or imaginations, and it differs little from the idols of the heathen. And they protest against the presentation of a God who is sovereign, who always does His will, and who does not say please to the creature. Protest as they may, they will have to answer to the Scriptures. We tread on holy ground when we take up the tremendous truth of divine sovereignty, and we ought to be reminded that there are aspects to this truth that we cannot understand. The sovereignty of God is the exercise of His supremacy.
Sovereignty implies authority, and authority is the right to rule.
In close connection with this, soveriegnty is the freedom to do what one pleases without being answerable to anyone. Only one can be sovereign. You can never have two sovereign beings. Nor can any limits be placed upon God's sovereignty. There are many who would make restrictions or exceptions to divine sovereignty.
