How do we know God is in control of everything?

Answered in 9 sources

Scripture assures us that God is in total control, as stated in Romans 8:28, which says all things work together for good.

God's control over everything is a fundamental aspect of His sovereignty. Romans 8:28 states, 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' This verse assures believers that God is actively involved in every aspect of our lives, orchestrating events for our ultimate good. Furthermore, in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, we see that God's plan was established before the foundation of the world, demonstrating that His control is not reactive but rather proactive. This assurance gives Christians peace in knowing that no matter the circumstances, God's purposes prevail.
