How do we know God is sovereign in all things?

Answered in 2 sources

Biblical revelation consistently affirms God's sovereignty, illustrating His control over all aspects of grace and salvation.

God's sovereignty is a central theme throughout scripture, describing His ultimate authority over creation, salvation, and His mercy. As seen in Mark 1:38, despite the popularity He gained in Capernaum, Jesus chose to move to other towns to preach, emphasizing that God extends mercy according to His will (Romans 9:15). This sovereignty means that not all who seek Him will find Him, especially if they seek Him for the wrong reasons or without genuine faith. God's choice to save some but not others underlines the profound truth of divine sovereignty, showing that He bestows grace to whom He wills. Our understanding of God’s sovereignty encourages humble acceptance of His will, affirming that He is in control of all outcomes, and instills confidence that His plan unfolds perfectly according to His purpose.
