According to Plan Quotes

“Sovereignty means exercising kingly power. We use the word in relation to God meaning that there is absolutely nothing that he does not control.”

“Literalism involves the very serious error of not listening to what the New Testament says about fulfillment. It assumes that the fulfillment must correspond exactly to the form of the promise. In fact, literalism assumes that the meaning of history is self-evident. Such an assumption goes contrary to all that we have said about revelation and its necessity for the correct interpretation of any fact.”

“Nevertheless, for the Christian, the motivation to holy living provided by the hope of his coming is not fear of judgment, but the desire to be like him.”

“The disciples' question in Acts 1:6 indicates that they expected the kingdom would be a visible result of the resurrection. Instead, the gospel summons people to faith in the risen and now invisisble Saviour.”

“How does God rule in his kingdom? In Eden he ruled by speaking to
Adam and Eve and by giving them rule over the rest of creation. God was ruling when he called Abraham. He was ruling when he spoke to Moses out of the burning bush and when he gave him the law on Mount Sinai. Already we see that God's choice is to rule his kingdom, even before the fall, through human beings. Moses, the prophet and priest, also mediated God's kingship through the law and in his personal leadership. Joshua's leadership upheld the law of Moses and asserted itself against the nations which opposed the coming of God's kingdom.”
