Does God's sovereignty mean we are not responsible for our actions?

The tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility is a profound aspect of Reformed theology. While God governs all events according to His will, He also holds individuals accountable for their actions. Romans 9:20-21 illustrates this by stating, 'But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, Why have you made me like this?' This highlights that while God has the right to do as He pleases, humans are still responsible for their choices and actions. God's sovereignty does not override human agency; rather, it encompasses it, allowing individuals to act according to their nature. Thus, while we have the freedom to choose, we do so within the framework of God's ultimate plan, affirming both His control and our accountability (Galatians 6:7).
