Wednesday's Words of Wisdom..Michael Williams on Sovereignty and Creation

"Sovereignty means just this: God wins!  As Isaac Watts expressed it in his famous Christmas hymn, 'Joy to the World!' the grace of God in Jesus Christ extends 'far as the curse is found.'  To suggest that the sin of man so corrupted his creation that God cannot fix it but can only junk it in favor of some other world is to say that ultimately the kingdom of evil is more powerful than the kingdom of God.  It makes Satan the victor over God.  Reducing the gospel to a strictly spiritual dimension of human existence concedes everything outside of that dimension to the enemy."
