February 20 - I Believe God is Sovereign Over All
Roger Duke
“And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place”
Acts 17: 26
This entry is taken from Daily Readings - John Bunyan a 366 day devotional edited by (and posted with permission from) Roger D. Duke, Scholar-in-Residence at Stage & Story, and published by Christian Heritage Press.
Each month focuses on a different book or writing by Bunyan. For February: My Confession of Faith (or A Confession of My Faith and a Reason of My Practice, or, With Who, and Who Not, I can Hold Church-fellowship, or the Communion of Saints)
I believe Jesus Christ, by the word of the scriptures, will judge all men at the day of doom. For that [judgment] is the book of the Law of the Lord according to Paul’s Gospel. I believe that this God made the world, and all things that are therein. For in Six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and all that is in them is. Also, that after the time of the making thereof, . . . [He gave] it to the children of men and preserved it for the children of God—for all that would be born in all the ages to come. When the most high divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the Sons of Adam; he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For as he made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the earth; so, he hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.
John Bunyan was a preacher, theologian and author, whose best-known work, The Pilgrim's Progress, has challenged and influenced readers for almost 350 years.
