 What is God’s Sovereignty? Why does it matter?

Creation and the Bible are full of examples of God’s sovereignty.  Wayne Grudem defines sovereignty as “God’s exercise of power over all of His creation.”  God is described as existing eternally (Ephesians 1:4), the Creator (Genesis 1:1), knowable (Jeremiah 9:24), independent (Acts 17:24-25), unchangeable (Malachi 3:6), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-10), omniscient (1 John 3:20), all-wise (Romans 16:27), all-good (Luke 18:19), all-loving (1 John 4:8), omnipotent (Genesis 18:14, Matthew 19:26) and sovereign (Ephesians 1:11).
