How do we know God restrains sin?

Throughout the Bible, we see instances where God actively restrains sin in the lives of individuals. In Genesis 20, God intervenes in Abimelech’s life, preventing him from sinning against Abraham by taking Sarah as his wife. Psalm 76:10 illustrates that God has the authority to restrain the wickedness of man, turning it for His own purposes. Moreover, God's grace works not only to forgive sins but also to prevent us from sinning as He guides and governs the hearts of men and women, enhancing His sovereignty in both the salvation and preservation of His people.
