The Bible consistently affirms God's sovereignty, with verses like Ephesians 1:11 stating He works all things according to the counsel of His will.

God’s sovereignty is a fundamental doctrine in Scripture. It asserts that God has ultimate authority and control over all creation. Ephesians 1:11 explains that God works all things according to the purpose of His will, suggesting that nothing occurs outside His plan. Every book in the Bible reveals aspects of God's sovereignty, showing that He is actively involved in the affairs of humanity and history. Furthermore, passages such as Isaiah 46:10 reflect how God declares the end from the beginning, emphasizing that His plans cannot be thwarted. This sovereign control is essential for believers as it assures us that God's purposes will be fully realized.
