Uphold Jehovah's Sovereignty!

"You are worth, Jehovah our God, to receive glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things." -Revelation 4:11. 

AS DISCUSSED in the preceding in an earlier article, the Devil contends that Jehovah exercises his sovereignty in an unworthy way and that mankind would be better off ruling themselves. Is Satan right?  Suppose that humans who chose self-rule could live forever. Would they be better off without God's rulership?  Would you be happier if you had absolute independence and everlasting life? 

No one can answer those questions for you . Each person should think the matter through. In doing so, it should evident that God's sovereignty is right.  It is the best rulership. And it deserves our wholehearted  support.  The Bible provides a basis for such conviction. Consider, for example, what the Scriptures  tell us about the rightfulness of Jehovah's sovereignty. 

JEHOVAH HAS THE RIGHT TO RULE

Jehovah is the rightful Sovereign of the universe because he is the almighty God and Creator.  (1 Chronicles 29:11; Acts 4:24)  At Revelation 4:11. Christ's  144,000 heavenly corulers  are depicted in a vision saying:  "You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created."  Yes, because Jehovah created all things, he has full right to rule over humans as well as spirit creatures.
