How do we know God has the authority over evil?

Answered in 1 source

God has absolute authority over evil, as shown by Jesus' power to cast out demons.

In both Matthew 8 and Mark 5, Jesus demonstrates His authority over evil spirits by commanding them to leave the men they possessed. The devils, upon seeing Jesus, understood that He had the ultimate power to torment them and sought His permission to enter a herd of swine instead. Their acknowledgment of His authority affirms that nothing exists outside of God's sovereign will, suggesting that even the forces of evil operate only within the parameters established by Him.
