We know God's sovereignty is true through biblical revelation and the experience of His providence in our lives, affirming that He governs all creation to fulfill His purposes.
The doctrine of God's sovereignty holds that He reigns over all aspects of creation. From scripture passages affirming His control over the universe to the personal experiences of believers where they see God's hand guiding, the truth of His sovereignty is multifaceted. God's sovereignty encompasses His authority over both the grand scope of history and the minutiae of individual lives, working all things according to His will and wisdom (Ephesians 1:11). This belief instills comfort in believers, affirming that regardless of circumstances—be they trials or tribulations—God orchestrates events for His glory and the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
