The Sovereignty of God (Johnson)

“God’s sovereignty is perhaps the most hated doctrine in the Bible. Sinners, by nature, do not like to surrender control. However, it is the study of God that reveals man’s weakness and God’s absolute sovereignty over all things. It is not only a worthwhile but also a necessary study, if a person is seeking to know the God who has revealed himself to us in the pages of Scripture. Jeffrey Johnson does a great job of unraveling the complexities of this doctrine with precision and clarity without downplaying the truths of this great subject found at the heart of the Bible.”
Josh Buice

“Jeff Johnson’s book helps us see God’s sovereignty clearly and practically, pointing out, at the same time, that God in His perfections transcends our best efforts to describe Him. This book leads us to understand what it means to say that God is sovereign. Then, it goes further. It shows us the sovereignty of our God as it truly is, the source of our permanent awe and wonder. How 'unique' is our King! We are grateful to know Him a little more through this book.”
John Snyder

“God's sovereignty is a hopeful doctrine; it is not our enemy. In fact, His sovereign and electing grace is the 'friend' of unworthy sinners, as we all are by nature. As Calvin taught, God's sovereign election is always sovereign and gracious; His sovereign reprobation is always sovereign and just. The amazing thing is not that God reprobates sinners who deserve to be reprobated, but that He sovereignly saves sinners who do not deserve to be saved.
Therefore, it is with much thanksgiving that I recommend my friend Jeff Johnson's book on the sovereignty of God. Jeff unravels point by point the rich biblical truth that God is both the Almighty and the All-Ruler. He writes in simple language; so clear, in fact, that some are more likely to have problems with what he says, not because they cannot understand it, but because they will understand it clearly. He addresses questions and objections with the skill of a pastor, but his conclusions are not driven by what will please men. Rather, he inclines our ears to hear God the Father and His Son speak through His Word by His Spirit, calling us to prostrate ourselves at the feet of our great and merciful King with sweet submission and worship. May God be pleased to use this book to make this a reality in the lives of many.”
