CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
We can only accept that God is God.
I recently had a curious conversation with one of my friends about salvation. In this dialogue, he asked me to clarify if the Jews will be saved, since they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour, therefore, they go totally against the post testamentary declarations. I tried to explain to him that for them, the Jews, the chosen people of God, are in another covenant with him, therefore, they will have another option for salvation. We also talked about the Jewish Law, which is crucial for them and their salvation, which for Christians still applies but is not the core of our salvation. Finally, try to persuade him through the incomprehensible sovereignty of God to justify the salvation of the Jews, because I consider that this (the sovereignty of God) is a vital pillar in our faith and will help us to apply the love of God in the other human beings.
“FOR TO MOSES HE SAYS: I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHICH I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL SHARE ON WHICH I SHOULD HAVE MERCY.”
Romans 9.15
The Gospel of Christ is for all those who really want to know what God has for them, accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of Humanity. Therefore, it is very difficult for me to make prejudices about the people who will be saved or not. I know that my job is to present the Gospel of Christ, but not to force anyone, because the person in charge of convincing of this reality is the Holy Spirit of God himself.
“SO IT DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE ONE WHO WANTS, NOR ON THE ONE WHO RUNS, BUT ON GOD WHO HAS MERCY.”
Romans 9.16
So, we could summarise that the sovereignty of God, apart from meaning that he can do whatever he wants, because everything God does is for the good of the human being, it is about the application of the same mercy of God on all mankind. God is totally autonomous and independent, He does not need our approval, but He does expect us to act accordingly to his decision. Let us demonstrate the love of God and extend the kingdom of Christ in every moment of our lives.
God bless you.
