What is divine sovereignty as defined in the Bible? Why is it important for us to know? Sovereignty Defined Sovereignty is the state of being supreme in power, status, and authority over all subjects and nothing can happen outside of the sovereign one’s will that is not part of their will, therefore the one who is sovereign has unlimited power and is independent of their subjects and can act regardless of the will of those who are reigned over.

Genesis 1:28 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” In the beginning, after the creation of the heavens and the earth, God came to create His greatest creation of all and that is man.

What is Lordship Salvation? What does it mean? Is it biblical? The Doctrine of Lordship Salvation Some have proclaimed that if Christ is not Lord of all, He’s not Lord at all, but is that true?

He only took issue with someone over their false teachings of Scripture, desecrating the temple, and criticizing the disciples.
