0:00.0	When God creates, He also regulates what He creates.
0:13.0	Built into this creation is not simply an act of grace, but also authority.
0:19.0	That God who creates, that God who sustains, is the God who rules, and has dominion, and sovereignty, and authority over this whole sphere.
0:29.0	And the sphere of His creation, the sphere of His authority, is what? The heaven and the earth? Everything.
0:37.0	All that He makes, He governs. All that He makes, He sustains.
0:42.0	And so built into the notion of creation are the seeds for the doctrine of providence.
0:49.0	Creation and providence are inseparably related.
0:53.0	The authority of God is rooted and grounded in this act of creation.
0:59.0	We are His creatures. It is He that has made us, and not we ourselves.
1:06.0	It's because we are not God, that He is God, that He is the sovereign authority.
