God is always in control and His plans always come to fruition. He knows everything that will happen from start to finish, and His knowledge is complete and full of light. However, His knowledge is darkness to us. God knows everything all at once, which makes Him very personal. He takes into account His knowledge of the ends of the earth and judges what is best for us in His vision and understanding. If He knows something will be good, then He desires it out of pleasure. So God is pleased because He is sovereign in every circumstance and in every space fully worthy of all that He is at all times.Who can understand the mind of God? Who can advise God? He has always existed and His power is incomprehensible to us. How can a man explain God? There are no words for us to describe what is necessary to make men understand God. God determines every event in the history of this world. He decrees all the sins of all mankind. God determined to bring His Son into the world before the creation of the world even though He made man free to choose life and live eternally. It is impossible for us to understand everything about God, but we know that He is powerful and good. He has a plan for everything that happens in this world, even the bad things. He sent His Son, Jesus, to save us from our sin, even though He knew that we would sin. This shows us how much He loves us. It follows from this that God must have decreed the first sin of Adam. If God chose for Adam to sin, and Adam was given the ability not to sin, then those of us who do not have the ability to keep from sinning deserve to never do anything good. We deserve to be eternally punished in hell. However, the Bible says that God saw us in Christ before the foundation of the world. Nothing takes God by surprise. Therefore, God, who exists outside of time, sees everything that transpires in His final judgment. All men will stand before God to be judged for their actions, and they have been free to choose to go to hell. If God finds a man guilty, it is only because the man has chosen to be so. God never changes, and His thoughts are always reality. All reality on this earth is designed by God in a thought that is most worthy of the most praise. The truth is that when man sinned in the garden, they cut themselves off from the eternal life that God had intended for them. Whatever good man get from God, they do not deserve.The idea that God is all-powerful means that He is free to act according to His own will, which in turn means that our understanding of truth is dependent upon His choices. If God is restricted or influenced by something external to Himself, He can be prevented from achieving His goals. If God can be changed in some way, then that change is determined by someone other than God. If a thousand people each had a say in how God should be changed, then there would be a thousand ways in which God would cease to be God. Therefore, if God is truly all-powerful, He is able to do whatever He pleases.
