God’s control over our lives is affirmed through Scripture, which shows His merciful hand in shaping us according to His will.
The doctrinal foundation of God's control is firmly established in passages like Romans 9, where Paul emphasizes that God has mercy on whom He will and has purposes for each vessel He shapes. This theme echoes throughout Scripture, indicating that God’s guidance is active in our lives from conception to our ultimate purpose. The experiences we face, good or bad, are all within God's sovereign design, meant to mold us for His glory and our ultimate good, reinforcing our trust in His divine plan.
