GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY OVER MAN’S DEPRAVITY

God's Sovereignty Over Man's Depravity - Genesis 10-11:9 By: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda Man has continually advanced in technological progress. Many times it has left a lot of us wondering if there are still things that man cannot do. Well, this is not a problem in itself.  In fact, it is even a display of how great God created man. Thus, in some ways, it is glorying God.   However, the problem is the heart of man.  From the beginning, man has sought to advance in technology to be independent of God (Genesis 4:17-22, Genesis 10:8-12, Genesis 11:3-4). He always sought to prove that he can live without God, or more accurately, that he can be god.   With the advancement that man had accomplished, should this pose a threat to the plan of God? Is it possible that man could eventually frustrate God’s plan? In chapter 10, we see the record of the dispersed nations.  While we know that this happened because God judged their attempt to disobey His command to “fill the earth,” this also set history towards the fulfillment of the plan of God.  And the fashion by which God did this in the story of the Tower of Babel found in Genesis 11:1-9, makes us understand that the strongest of men could easily be reversed by God to the frustration of man’s plan and the fulfillment of His plan. Man’s attempt to prove themselves equal, if not greater than God, only becomes a display of how God’s sovereignty prevails in accomplishing His beautiful plan to be worshiped by all nations despite man’s sinfulness.  Listen in and learn about how God dispersed man and laid the groundwork for His plan to have a people for Himself from all nations.
