The sovereignty of God and the Gospel

The sovereignty of God and the Gospel What does the recent tsunami, the terrorist attacks of 9 / 11, The Holocaust, the Great Depression, the sinking of the Titanic, the rise and fall of the great Roman Empire, and the execution of Jesus all have in common? The God of the Bible is ultimately responsible for the seven events in history! There is a powerful yet obscure verse in the Bible I believe that this heralds the highest. The Old Testament book of Isaiah says: "What can be said of sunrise until there is nobody around, except me. I am the Lord, and no one else, I have the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity, I the Lord do all these things "(Isaiah 45:6, 7). In other words, the God of the Bible manage all things at all times. If you have been blessed in life, are ultimately the blessings that come from God if you have experienced the pain or have been affected by the tragedy, but also, ultimately, came from the hand of God himself. The Creator of the universe, is sovereign in the universe, otherwise it is not God at all. God is not an excuse for the way he goves the world, or seek legal advice on how to gove. He is God. " He is independent, self-existing and self-sufficient. One of the questions that the old skeptics question: "If God is omnipotent and loving, because it allows all the suffering and evil in the world? "This is a legitimate question to ask whether the desire to know the biblical truth of it. Even if the matter can not be addressed adequately due to lack of space, the Bible makes use of the word. In short, the God of the Bible that you want to know that even if He is sovereign and predestined all things, good or bad, to fulfill his eteal purpose, He is also a God of perfect love and divine. Need proof that the Bible? The Apostle John said two thousand years ago, that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eteal life" (John 3:16). As God did not give his Son? God "gave" his Son for the evil of men to be crucified so that sinners like me and you can be reconciled with God we have anarchy in our own against him. Who killed Jesus in the end? So did the sovereignty of God! In the same book of Isaiah, at least ten chapters, the first text we read, and centuries before Christ came to earth, we read of Jesus the Messiah, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was wounded for our sins, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him and by his wounds we are healed ... and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all ... However, pleased God to bruise Him, He has brought the pain "(Isaiah 53). The tragedies of the above are just a few memories that mankind can not control its own destiny. God does. And while disaster is often included in his plan, he decreed that the love that is found only in Jesus Christ. He demonstrated his love in the crucifixion of His Son.
