The Sovereignty of God - A.W. Pink - Part 1 Summary

What does it really mean that God is sovereign—and why does it matter for everyday faith?

In this video, we walk through the first six chapters of A.W. Pink’s The Sovereignty of God, a classic that has shaped generations of Christian thinkers and pastors. We explore how Scripture presents God’s absolute rule over creation, His wise administration of all things, His sovereign grace in salvation, the solemn doctrine of reprobation, and God’s continuous operation in the world and in His people.

What you’ll learn (chapters 1–6):
God’s Sovereignty Defined — A biblical, heart-level definition: God does as He pleases, always as He pleases, only as He pleases—perfectly wise, just, and good.
In Creation — God’s absolute right over all He has made; creation exists by His will and for His glory.
In Administration (Providence & Government) — How God governs nations and history, accomplishing His purposes without injustice or error.
In Salvation — The wonder of sovereign grace: election and mercy that magnify Christ and humble the sinner.
In Reprobation — A sober look at divine justice in passing over the non-elect, handled with pastoral sensitivity and fidelity to Scripture.
In Operation — God’s active, ongoing work directing events and sanctifying believers, giving hope and courage in suffering.

Why this matters:
Pink contends that recovering a high view of God steadies the soul, sparks worship, and reshapes prayer and obedience. If you’ve wrestled with questions about free will, suffering, or God’s control, this walkthrough offers clarity and comfort rooted in the Word.
