The infallible God of the Word, then, is our Sovereign Lord. This is the basis of Biblical faith – this is the Reformed Faith. The God of the Word, is our Sovereign Lord. No theology has done more to champion the Biblical principle of Sovereignty, and infallibility, and inerrancy, than good, old fashioned Calvinism. In order to have a high view of Scripture, we must have a High view of God. If we have a small, impotent God, it follows that we will have a small, impotent Bible. (Repeat!). The reason we exalt the Scriptures all boils down to this: God is the Lord, He is Sovereign.
So, what happens when men reject the sovereignty of God? (pause) It is no mystery, beloved, they simply accept the sovereignty of man. Man’s reason then prevails over faith and the Lordship of God and Christ. Remember – there is no neutral ground, beloved. A rationalism then too prevails over Biblical presuppositions, and the Bible is replaced with what we confront today, namely a destitute, hopeless, futureless humanism. This is the world we live in today – a world where God is outlawed by a supposedly sovereign man.
