Our perfect God not only declares what will be but actively works in his creation infallibly to bring about his plans and purposes. Ordinarily he works through means or secondary causes but is not restricted in doing so. He oversees the lives of the elect (indeed, he has a special affection and action on behalf of his church) and the reprobate so as to confirm them either in their elect or reprobate states and to bring them unfailingly to their respective destinies. And all "to the praise of the glory of his wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
Tomorrow: The fall of man introduced.
