What does it mean for God to be a witness?

Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 5 Article 2

The sermon explores the concept of first and secondary causes within the Westminster Confession of Faith, arguing that God's sovereignty and human liberty are not mutually exclusive. It emphasizes that while God is the ultimate cause of all things, including human actions, He does not reduce individuals to mere puppets, but allows for genuine choice and desire. Drawing from examples like a dog barking and a game of pool, the message clarifies that God's involvement ranges from direct intervention to guiding events through cause and effect, even utilizing the consequences of sin to fulfill His purposes. Ultimately, the sermon encourages assurance in God's perfect plan and unwavering power, while affirming the importance of serving Him with a whole heart and trusting in His grace.
