Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is dial in. In this episode, we continue to look at the attributes of God and we're highlighting God's sovereignty. Let's dial in.

Last week, we looked at who God is as a holy king, that there are none like him.

God's holiness isn't just one attribute of God.

It really defines for us the rest of God's attributes.

God's love is a holy love.

His justice is a holy justice.

This makes more sense when we understand that God's holiness is not just his moral purity, but is the attribute that uniquely sets God apart from all others.

In this episode, as we continue to consider God's otherness, that he is unlike you and I, we will look to the attribute that God

himself promotes as the supreme attribute that makes him unlike all others. In Isaiah 46,

verse 9, God says, remember the former things long past. For I am God and there is no other. I am God and there are none like me.

Okay, so God says there are none like me. That's God's holiness. That's how set apart in other he is than

anyone or anything. Now the question is, what is the first way here that God differentiates himself from you and i well it's in

verse 10 he says i declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not yet been

done saying my purpose will be established and i will accomplish all my good pleasure.

Now listen here.

When God declares his otherness, he declares his sovereignty.

Verse 10, he declares the end from the beginning and he accomplishes all his purposes.

This is God's sovereignty.

This is the ultimate reality in the universe that God rules and reigns.

Now, this verse functions for us as a definition of sovereignty, but let's look at some

other passages to help us get greater definition there.

Job 42, verse 2, I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
