The Sovereignty of God
We trust in the sovereignty of God as we consider the concept of a one world government. The Bible teaches us that there is no authority except that which God has established. His power and authority extend over all creation, including the nations of the world. In times of uncertainty, we can find peace in the knowledge that He is in control. Even in a system that may appear united under human governance, we can be assured that God’s will reigns supreme. His plans for our lives and for humanity will ultimately unfold according to His divine purpose, showing us that He is the ultimate ruler and King.

Unity and Diversity in the Body of Christ
As we explore the notion of a one world government, we recognize the importance of unity among believers in Christ. The scriptures teach us that we are all part of one body, regardless of our different backgrounds or nationalities. Just as God orchestrates unity within His church, there is a call for unity in a broader sense.

This unity should inspire us to work together in love and service, reflecting God’s grace to the world.
