0:00.0	Sometimes I hear Christians say that God's sovereignty is limited by human freedom.
0:11.0	When I hear these things, I make certain assumptions.
0:15.0	The first assumption I make when I hear people say that God's sovereignty is limited by human freedom is that people
0:22.7	really haven't thought much about it. Perhaps they've heard somebody else say it and they're just
0:28.1	repeating it. Because if they've thought about it for five minutes, they would realize that the
0:34.2	limit is not on God, but on us. We are free, but our freedom is always and everywhere
0:41.5	limited by God's freedom. It is God who is sovereign, not us. We get our identity from being
0:51.0	made in the image of God. God is not made in the image of man. He's the one who is
0:57.0	sovereign. We are not. Our humanity is defined by him. Thank you for listening to Ultimately
1:06.9	with R.C. Sprole. Dr. Sprole founded Liginear Ministries to proclaim the holiness of God in all its fullness
1:13.2	to as many people as possible.
1:15.9	To learn more about our holy God,

1:19.7	when you visit Ultimatelypodcast.com slash holy. Thank you.
