"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Revelation 21:6
Here we see our Lord Jesus Christ describe Himself as the only Sovereign God. Alpha means first and by this He means there is none before Him. No parents to teach Him to walk, no siblings to teach Him the way of life and how to deal with life, no teachers or counselors to teach and educate Him, no none before Him because He is the sovereign God. He needs no one or anything to make Him increase in any area because He is already and has eternally been the Omni God. The word “omni” truly only belongs to God because He truly is the only “omni” anything. Omni come from Latin and means “all” and besides Him there is no other “all” anything. Let’s read Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." He (Jesus Christ) is “…the beginning and the end…” and “…the first and the last…” He is the sovereign God. Man and their religion has seek to just about eliminate Jesus Christ from having power over salvation and power over the churches, and that is an awesomely sad mistake. Without Jesus Christ there is no salvation or churches. So when one attempts to eliminate Him from saving sinners and from building churches then there is no salvation and no churches, and that is just what those people have is nothing. Jesus said do I not have the power over the vessel to do as I please? Romans 9:21 “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” is not He the creator of all things and has the right to as He is pleased with His own creation. Wasn’t it He that gave man dominion over the earth? Wasn’t it He that gave Satan the power to tempt Eve and bring sin into the world? Wasn’t it He that chose to send His beloved Son into the world to save a remnant of them? Wasn’t it Him that created hell and the torture of it to punish the lost. People come up with these false doctrine about mans will and the freeness of it, but God says He is the Saviour of mankind. God has the right to do as He pleases and man says there is so much He cannot do. The truth is God does as He pleases with whom He please. If God elects to save one sinner (a vessel fit for honor) doesn’t He also have the right to have non-elect (vessels fit to dishonor)? Romans 9:22 “What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Salvation is no more mans decision than their birth was. You can no more control your rebirth than you did your natural birth. Jesus Christ is the First and the Last and all things will be what He makes them and there is no choice on mans part to be made. Some say “God can’t change mans will” but man somehow can, well that is totally wrong because only God can change a mans will. Man is a liar, that love sin more than God, and he will never on his own ever turn to Christ for salvation nor seek to please the True Sovereign God. How about the truth, God gives you the will to seek Christ. Philippians 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." We choose nothing, God chooses for us and this is why Paul said "But by the grace of God I am what I am..." 1 Corinthians 15:10 Paul knew about the Sovereign Grace of God because it was Jesus Christ who changed his wicked heart and it is Jesus Christ who has changed your wicked heart. Jesus Christ is the First and the Last and while the religious world seeks to demonize His blessed truths and sovereignty He will be the one standing in the end restoring truth and judging the lies and liars to eternal damnation. Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving...all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Jesus Christ was the first and He will most certainly be the last to stand along with His truth.
