God's sovereignty: Imagine a person who has been struggling to find a job for months. They apply for countless positions, go to numerous interviews, but nothing seems to work out. Then, one day, they receive an unexpected job offer that not only aligns with their interests and skills, but also provides them with better compensation and benefits than any of the other positions they applied for. In this situation, the person may see God's sovereignty at play-a higher power guiding them towards the opportunity that was ultimately best for them, even though they couldn't see it at the time. This example illustrates how God's sovereignty can be seen in the seemingly random events of our lives, showing us that there is a greater plan and purpose beyond our immediate understanding.
I agree, but what if that doesn't happen? Or if a person struggled with blasphemous thoughts for two months when wondering if they are saved, and then two years down the line still wondering what God's purpose was with that?
@@juandrebotes187 The answer is, it starts with the 'fear of the Lord'. The friends of Daniel were to be put in a furnace, they said that if God will not save them, they will still not worship the idol. About the thoughts for two months.. it happens during stage of sanctification, because the transition is still taking effect from darkness to light. Then about the two years wondering.. it has to do again with the fear of the Lord because you must have to it to get wisdom and understanding. When one has the syllabus, and jumps in the water, it becomes part of his intuition, knowing the things that would please the Lord, and acts according to God's purpose (Php 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.)

We know from Scripture that God ordains (or decrees) all things. From the most insignificant happenings, like the whereabouts of a sparrow, or the number of hairs on your scalp (Matthew 10: 29-31 ESV ) to the ruling of empires (Proverbs 21:1 ESV ) and even the outcome of dice (Proverbs 16:33 ESV .)15
If we had free will, there would be no such thing as a priori cause of our thoughts, words, and deeds, that is, being influenced by someone or something outside of ourselves. Only God has free will.
@nonelost1. Respectfully disagree. God is sovereign but we also have free will. Andam and Eve had free will. They chose to disobey God. You're saying that. God made them disobey them?
Nah, it's not as complex as you're thinking. We have the ability to ascertain and understand certain things in small parts. Just because we cannot understand the full concept doesn't mean we will "go insane" trying to understand a small part of it. Think of it like this: Humanity has the will to choose what we want to do, however, at anytime, God can interviene, stop us and force us to do whatever He wants or stop us from doing what we want. There is more detail of course and there is a peculiar paradigm about God directing our free will, but that in a nutshell is how God's sovereignty interacts with man's freewill.
God is in control of everything He allows free will God also saids he only hardens already hard hearts. So the person already decided god is just honoring that persons choice.

God's sovereignty means NOBODY can twist His arms to change His actions or decisions. He will do as He pleases.
Except that isn't Biblically supported. I'm just saying. If it is true than your Bible is has issues.

He allows free will
God also saids he only hardens already hard hearts. So the person already decided god is just honoring that persons choice.
