The unilateral salvation of the gospel of grace also reminds us that our life belongs totally and ultimately to God. We are reminded, in the sovereignty of salvation by grace, of the sovereignty of the God of grace. He is the one upholding the universe (Heb. 1:3). He is the one in control. He created the world and called it good, and he will see it to its predetermined end and new beginning. And if this God who is ordaining all things can be trusted—if he is good and loving and also just and wise—who are we to be impatient with the way things are going?
