When A.W.Pink wrote this on one God's attributes it was five decades after Darwin's theory of evolution was starting to become influential in academic circles.Darwin's hypothesis excluded God from the realm of creation.Pink observed that the fruit of this teaching was that -"...God would be banished from the realm of human affairs." This is what was transpiring during A.W.Pink's lifetime and the rotten fruit of Darwin's 'Godless Hypothesis' continues to have an enormous impact on our culture and our academic institutions.
What is the author getting at with the title 'The Godhood Of God'-"...the omnipotency of God,the absolute Sovereignty of God." The evolutionary atheistic mindset not only attempts to strip God of his power but seeks to overthrow his very existence.According to Mr.Pink,that mans reasoning is flawed,who tries to understand himself and the universe in which he exists,if he begins with man and tries to reason back to God.No! He must begin with God-'In the Beginning God'(these are the opening words of God's in-scripturated self revelation)to begin with God must also be-"...the first axiom of all true philosophy." There are many individual verses (of course the Scriptures as a whole do as well)that expose man's folly towards his maker(this folly is seen-in their thoughts,words and the way that they live).The natural man seeks to live independent of God but the following verse clearly reveals how foolish this is-'For of Him,and through Him,and to Him,are all things.'(Romans 11:36).Pink gives a great summary of this verse-"In the beginning -God,in the center-God,at the end-God". Remove God from your philosophy and you may impress your fellow man with your supposed wisdom and eloquence but 'The Sword Of The Spirit' will cut though your words and expose the folly behind them.Remove God from your thinking and life becomes empty and meaningless.
One of the reasons that 'The Godhood Of God'(The Absolute Sovereignty Of God)is such an important doctrine is because-"Nothing is so humbling to the human heart as a true recognition of the absolute Sovereignty Of God." What a great need there is for humility in our generation,which is why the preaching and teaching of this doctrine is so vital for our day.
A.W.Pink's most well known and most influential book is 'The Sovereignty Of God'.He had an in-depth understanding of this doctrine and has given powerful application of it in his writings.
