| God’s decrees gave rise to creation, providence, and redemption. Before the foundation of the world, this omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent sovereign Lord decreed an unchangeable, eternal plan for everything and everyone He would bring into existence. He purposed to create an astonishing universe that included a magnificent world that would be the habitation of His image-bearers. Not only would He create this glorious theater, He would unfold throughout its ages an extraordinary plan of redemption. He is, therefore, the holy Sovereign of all existing things, people, and events. This issue of the FGB is a companion to the previous one, God’s Eternal Purpose. However, God’s Decrees introduces a number of profound biblical doctrines between its covers; we hope to explore these in greater detail in future issues—the sovereignty of God, predestination, election and reprobation, creation, and providence. Dear pastors, preach these themes to God’s hungry sheep; it will do them much good, especially in the days ahead; and it will bring much glory to God. Parents, ground your children in these soul-anchoring truths. They will need them. God's Decrees (FGB #237) Contents The Decrees of God - Arthur W.
