How do we know God ordained the fall of man?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture indicates that the fall was part of God's eternal decree established before creation.

The evidence of God's ordaining the fall can be found throughout the Bible, particularly in Ephesians 1, where Paul discusses God's predestined will. In verses 4-5 it says that He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, indicating that the plan for redemption was in place prior to Adam's sin. This reflects God's sovereignty and intention, suggesting that the fall was not merely permitted but purposed by God for a higher reason: the display of His glory through salvation. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that God indeed ordained the fall as a key part of His overarching plan.
