The “Sovereignty of God.” What do we mean by this expression? We mean the SUPREMACY of God, the KINGSHIP of God, the GODHOOD of God. To say that God is sovereign is to declare that GOD IS GOD! To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High, “doing according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth, so that none can stay His hand or say unto Him what doest Thou?” (Dan. 4:35), To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Almighty, the possessor of all power in heaven and earth so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, nor resist His will (Ps. 115:3). To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is “the governor among the nations” (Ps. 22:28), setting up kingdoms, overthrowing empires, and determining the course of dynasties as pleases Him best. To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the “only potentate, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords” (1 Tim. 6:15). Such is the God of the Bible.

from The Sovereignty of God, A. W. Pink

It is called “the righteousness of God” (Rom. 1:17; 3:21) because He is the appointer, approver, and imputer of it. It is called “the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1) because He wrought it out and presented it unto God. It is called “the righteousness of faith” (Rom. 4:13) because faith is the apprehender and receiver of it. It is called man’s righteousness (Job 33:26) because it was paid for him and imputed to him. All these varied expressions refer to so many aspects of that one perfect obedience unto death which the Savior performed for His people.
