Teach I believe first and foremost definitions of anything, or any topic must be from the word of God, this word s is the only

Word we know is his word.



Not changing the topic, looking at the first two chapters of the bible and knowing he never changes and his word never changes.

What do you see of him there.

The Creator ~



Gen 1:1 � In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.



The Spirit ~



Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.



The Spoken WORD ~



Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Ephesians 1:19-23: That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given...And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be HEAD over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way!!



I Corinthians 15:22-25: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes, those who belong to Him. Then the End will come , when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power!!

Since the word is not in the Bible, I turn to the dictionary to find the definition. The God in Genesis is the same God in Revelation and every book in between.

He created this world and everything in it. He is the ruler over this world...which makes Him sovereign.

While He is in control, that does not mean He is controlling...He has ultimate authority. We are subject to Him although we, like all humans, do not always obey Him. He sets the rules, the punishments, and rewards.

He set the world in motion...knowing we would disobey Him. He set the plan of salvation into motion, knowing we would need a Saviour. He offers His grace and mercy...those who receive it will spend eternity in heaven with Him. Those who who reject Him will spend eternity in Hell separated from Him.

From The first two chapters alone I see his power.



I see how he releases his power.



I see that everything is good he say so.



I see His creative ability.



I see how he summed up is creative ability, in creating man, that is just like him and he then put him in a body.



I see all that he created was given to man.



I SEE Goodness, Generosity beyond measure.



So however you define sovereignty it has to be under this perimeters.



There is also a time frame that all this belongs to man.



Man is still within that time frame.

Even Satan is still under the sovereignty of God. Satan's only dominion of control and ownership is sin. Every else down to the hairs on our heads belongs to God. Satan wrested "dominion" of the earth from Adam, but God is still his creator and king, and Satan and all his forces will acknowledge that in the last day, even though they will still be in rebellion.

Yes and know Mark



He is still The God of this world reining in the hearts of those unsaved, and he does as he wills with them.



The church is to be reining NOW, The Body Of Christ.

While God is Sovereign over all creation and humans, we are still sovereign over our lives and domains...I am accountable for what and how I do things and those God has entrusted to my care. Kings and rulers/leaders are sovereign over their countries, states, cities, etc. There is always a rank and file with God at the top.
