How do we know God is sovereign in life and death?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture firmly establishes God's sovereignty in life and death, as seen in Hannah's Prayer, where she declares, 'The Lord killeth, and maketh alive.'

The sovereignty of God over life and death is clearly articulated in Hannah’s Prayer. In 1 Samuel 2:6, she boldly proclaims, 'The Lord killeth, and maketh alive.' This statement is affirmatively powerful, affirming that God is not merely passively allowing death but actively governing it. Sovereign grace theology contends that every event in our lives is under God's authority and perfect will, as He orchestrates history and individual lives according to His purpose. Thus, understanding God's sovereignty provides comfort and assurance for believers, affirming that nothing occurs outside of God’s divine plan.
