How do we know God's sovereignty and man's responsibility are true?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms both God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, as seen in Acts 2:23 and 4:27-28.
Scripture reveals that God is sovereign over all creation and that His purposes will prevail, as stated in Isaiah 46:10, where God declares that His counsel will stand. However, Scripture also teaches that humans are responsible for their actions, making choices that have real consequences. Acts 2:23 illustrates this dynamic clearly, indicating that Jesus was delivered according to God's foreknowledge, yet it also attributes the wicked act of crucifying Him directly to human actions. The tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility is a mystery that is upheld throughout the Scriptures, emphasizing that God's purposes are fulfilled even as humans exercise their free will.
