Scripture operates on cause and effect, and that reality does not weaken God's sovereignty. It reveals it.

In this episode, I explore how God intentionally designed covenant to include choice, consequence, and responsibility. From sowing and reaping to obedience and endurance, the Bible consistently shows that what we choose produces real outcomes, both in this life and in eternity. This is not because God lacks control, but because His sovereignty includes granting humanity real agency within His plan.

We will talk about why forgiveness does not remove earthly consequences, why obedience is not legalism, and why faith that remains passive does not reflect the fullness of biblical faith. God is not reacting to human decisions. He authored a world where truth responds to choice.

Cause and effect are evidence of God's design.

God remains fully sovereign while honoring the freedom He gave us. Covenant was never about control. It was about relationship, trust, and the formation of a people who choose Him in truth and endurance.

If you have wrestled with how free will, obedience, and eternal life coexist under a sovereign God, this conversation will bring clarity without compromise.
