Sovereignty of God - A.W. Pink Summary - Part 2

Описание: ⚓ The Sovereignty of God - A.W. Pink | Part 2: Practical Application & Comfort
"Foreknowledge is founded upon God's decrees; He knows what will be precisely because He has ordained what shall be." Welcome back to Faithful Life. Today, we conclude our deep dive into A.W. Pink’s groundbreaking classic, The Sovereignty of God.

In Part 1, we established the absolute definition of God’s rule. Now, we tackle the "Gordian Knot" of theology: How does God’s total control reconcile with human responsibility, the persistence of evil, and the necessity of prayer? Pink doesn't shy away from these tensions; instead, he shows how this doctrine is the greatest source of pastoral comfort and strength.
