The Sovereign God and Man's Will
The article "The Sovereign God and Man's Will" discusses the Reformed perspective on the doctrines of predestination and the sovereignty of God in relation to human will. It asserts that the Reformed Churches maintain a consistent belief in God's absolute sovereignty and the total depravity of man, opposing contemporary views that emphasize human free will and a universal offer of salvation. The text highlights the historical struggle against Pelagianism and Arminianism, emphasizing that true election and reprobation are rooted in God's sovereign decree, which is a fundamental truth that should humble believers and affirm God's glory.
