*GOD’S JUST CLAIM*
**‘The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever.’**
** [Revelation 11:15](../../../kjv/revelation/11/15) (R.V.)**
** This is a just claim which God makes. He asks no more than His rights when He demands that His sovereignty should be universal. It is a just claim for many reasons.
**I. Because the world is God’s world**—‘All souls are Mine.’ ‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’ It is not strange then that He should ask the allegiance of all.
**II. Because the glory of God is the end of all created things, and specially of man.**—‘For Thy glory they are, and were created.’
**III. Because God’s honour is involved in the claim.**—God, the King of kings, is pictured by the prophet as pleading with His chosen people in their forgetfulness of Him: ‘If I be a King, where is Mine honour?’
**IV. Because God loves this world of men,** not some only, but each and all of them.
—Bishop C. J. Ridgeway.
