How do we know God's sovereign control over humanity is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's complete sovereignty over humanity is affirmed in scripture, emphasizing that He does as He pleases.

The sovereignty of God is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology, asserting that God is in absolute control of all things, including the hearts of men. In Job 12:16, we read, 'With Him is strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His.' This truth means not only that God allows rebellion but that it is part of His sovereign plan. Furthermore, the narrative in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 illustrates how God will send a strong delusion to those who refuse to love the truth. This emphasizes that God’s control is not passive; rather, He actively directs the course of both the righteous and the unrighteous according to His will. This sovereignty assures believers that God is never at the mercy of human actions but is always fulfilling His divine purposes.
