The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Can God use a drunk?

tj,

God has no limitations as far as His authority and power, aka: divine sovereignty. However, He Himself does have limitations which are according to His nature, e.g., He cannot sin, do any injustice, fail to uphold His promises, not bring to pass that which He has decreed, etc. He also has set forth limitations upon men which we know as our responsibility. So, though God may use a drunk, even an ass (cf. Balaam's ass) to bring about His eternal determinate counsel, to the extreme of having the incarnate Son of God crucified, this does not negate nor diminish the responsibility of men to do that which is right according to His holy law. In short, we have no basis upon which to do that which is sinful and expect that in spite of our sin God will use us for His glory.

In His Grace,
