The sovereignty of God over evil is affirmed in Scripture, where even Satan's actions require God's permission, demonstrating His ultimate authority.
The Bible clearly indicates that God's sovereignty extends over all things, including evil. In the story of Job, we see that Satan cannot act without God's explicit permission; he must ask God for the ability to test Job. This dynamic showcases that while Satan operates with malicious intent, he does so within boundaries set by God. God's omnipotence means that nothing, including evil acts, can occur outside of His divine oversight. Therefore, believers can trust in God's sovereignty, knowing that even in suffering, there is a purpose that aligns with God's greater plan for His people.
