How do we know God is sovereign over all events in the world?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture asserts God's sovereignty, declaring that He orchestrates all events according to His will, as seen in Isaiah 46:10.
God's sovereignty over all creation is a central tenet of Reformed theology. Isaiah 46:10 states, 'Declaring the end from the beginning,' which signifies God's eternal purpose governing all events. The affirmation that God works 'all things after the counsel of His own will' (Ephesians 1:11) speaks to His absolute authority over history, nature, and individual lives. This sovereignty assures believers that all circumstances serve His purpose and plan, providing comfort in the knowledge that nothing is outside His control. The consistency of God's character throughout scripture reinforces His sovereignty, distinguishing the true God who accomplishes His will from a non-sovereign deity.
