God is sovereign according to scripture but not in any way that reduces our responsibility.
We're responsble according to scripture but not in any way that reduces God's sovereignty.
Don Carson(paraphrased)
In other words, one does not reduce or remove the other. Both of them run as it were like train tracks together. An example,
Matthew 11 we have that lovely invitation from Jesus: "Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." But that's the same section that Jesus says that God is hider and revealer.
2 train tracks.. you can never push the sovereignty of God to the point that God is limited or out of complete control.. so don't ever shorten the Sovereignty of God track. He is as sovereign as... sovereign.
And you can never push the human responsiblity tract to the point that it's reduced or we can play some kind of victim. ie. don't ever shorten the human responsibility tract.
