Well, the summer, you, Pastor John, finished up a book on the Providence of God, a 600-page

book coming out in a little over a year from now, really eager to see it, really looking

forward to reading it.

And we talked about it recently in Ask Pastor John episode 1371.

You can go back and listen to that.

Sometimes I say it's a book about the sovereignty of God.

Sometimes I say it's a book about the Providence of God, and it leads to a question from

the seal in the Dominican Republic.

Hello, Pastor John.

For years, I have been blessed by your ministry, your sermons, and books especially.

Thank you for future grace and desiring God.

Likewise, Ask Pastor John has been an instrument to help me know Jesus better.

I thank God for you and for Tony.

I was looking for definitions on the sovereignty of God and the Providence of God, and I couldn't

really find that one that would make me understand the differences between the two terms.

Could you please explain it, Pastor John?

Are they synonyms?

Or how would you define each of these glorious truths, God's Providence and God's sovereignty?

Excellent question.

And I will answer very specifically in just a moment, the very question that was asked.

But first, it really is important to say a few words about definitions and specifically

definitions about words that are not used in the Bible.
