These verses deal with the sovereignty and omnipotency of God.
These two attributes go hand-in-hand.
A.W. Tozer said, “To reign, God must have power, and to reign sovereignly, He must have all power.
“
God has delegated power to His creation.
Yet, He has relinquished nothing.
When God rule son Earth and there is total surrender to His will, it will not be accomplished by military might but simply by His desire.
Furthermore, the omnipotence of God is not simply a sum of all power.
It is an attribute of God.
Because He possesses all power it can never diminish.
From the creation of the universe.
Miracles of the Old and New Testament, the bearing of our sins, and holding all time in His hand, He has not diminished in power a micro amount.
We seem to view power as rising and falling again like the tides of the sea.
We gain strength, expend it and then must restore or power once again.
However, this could not be further from the truth of God.
Tozer provides three demands for God’s sovereignty.
First, the demand that He knows all.
Any sliver of information that He does not know would cause a break in His sovereignty.
Second, He must be all-powerful.
Anything He does not have power over would be controlled by something/someone else.
This breakdown would threaten His kingdom.
Finally, He must be absolutely free.
He must be free to do His will without interference.[1]
Tozer also addresses the divisive subjects of Calvinism and Arminianism.
To this point, Tozer seeks to unify the two ends by neither denying God’s sovereignty nor man’s free will.
Instead, Tozer states that only a sovereign God would be fearless enough to bestow free will upon His creation.
Furthermore, man only has free will because a fully sovereign God could will such freedom.
