God's Sovereignty - Its Implications

The perspective of the world has so impacted our thinking, that we cannot understand God's sovereignty correctly, unless God explains it to us.

The Bible says that God makes changes in a person when he saves them. Since God is sovereign, if he says it's true, then it is true!
- Significance? If the above statement is true, then people are not saved if those changes are not present! There is no such thing as a "saved" person who is characterized by an "unsaved" lifestyle! (It's sad how many people claim that what God said doesn't apply to them! They insist that they are saved, and demand that we accept it as true, even though they are contradicting what God himself has said!)
- We should acknowledge God's sovereignty and respond properly to it. Instead of trying to fight it (which we cannot succeed in doing), we should respond with a trusting, reverential fear! (This is quite different from the terrifying fear that will someday be experienced by those who choose rather to be his enemies, by refusing to have the trusting, reverential type of "fear.")
