The Potter's Wheel & The Potter's Word

By Jacob Weston Trent

The sovereignty of God is not diminished but rather magnified in His intentional endowment of creation with genuine contingency. For predestination, rightly understood, denotes not an immutable decree that exhaustively determines all events, but the divine resolve to bring creation toward His redemptive telos through modalities of freedom that He Himself ordained. Thus God's foreknowledge is dynamic and relational-perfect in its scope, infallible in its apprehension of all that can be known, yet not constituted by a timeless blueprint of necessity. In granting creatures authentic agency, God does not relinquish His rule; instead, He exercises a sovereign wisdom so capacious that it can incorporate undetermined creaturely choices into the unfolding of His purposes. Therefore, contrary to the Reformed assertion that divine glory is most fully displayed in unilateral decrees, it is precisely God's willingness to engage a world of real possibilities that reveals the profundity of His lordship, the generosity of His love, and the majesty of His governance.
