How do we know God is sovereign over all things?

Answered in 6 sources

God’s sovereignty is evident through Scripture, which declares that all powers are ordained of Him and that everything exists under His control.

The sovereignty of God is a foundational doctrine in Christian theology, particularly in the Reformed tradition. Scriptures such as Romans 13 affirm that all governing authorities are instituted by God, meaning His authority permeates all aspects of life—earthly and heavenly. In Acts 14:15, Paul emphasizes that we must turn away from vain things toward the living God, who made heaven and earth. This sovereignty means God is not only the Creator but also the sustainer of all that exists, working all things according to His will and purpose, and nothing occurs outside of His divine decree.
