La doctrina de la soberanía de Dios no es un mero dogma metafísico sin ningún valor práctico, sino una enseñanza destinada a influir poderosamente en el carácter cristiano y en el andar de cada día. La doctrina de la soberanía de Dios es básica dentro de la teología cristiana, y su importancia quizá solamente superada por aquella de la inspiración divina de las Escrituras.

'Present day conditions', writes the author, 'call loudly for a new examination and new presentation of God's omnipotence, God's sufficiency, God's sovereignty. From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still lives, that God stil observes, that God still reigns. Faith is now in the crucible; it is being tested by fire, and there is no fixed and sufficient resting-place for the heart and mind but in the throne of God. What is needed now, as never before, is a full, positive, constructive setting forth of the Godhood of God.'
