32 The Sovereignty of God<br />

to praise him for controlling the world and for displaying his wisdom in<br />

the world.<br />

Those of us who follow Christ have a further motivation. The Bible<br />

indicates that Christ is now exalted in heaven and rules over everything:<br />

He [God] raised him [Christ] from the dead and seated him at his right<br />

hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power<br />

and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this<br />

age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet.<br />

(Eph. 1:20–22)<br />

He [Christ] upholds the universe by the word of his power. (Heb. 1:3)<br />

Christ is Lord of all. So we should serve him in every thought and in every<br />

sphere.
