How do we know God's sovereignty in Judas' betrayal?

Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus is a profound example of God's sovereignty operating through human action. While Judas acted out of his own greed and malice, the Scriptures indicate that this betrayal was foretold and necessary for the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. According to Acts 1:16-17, Peter affirms that this scripture must be fulfilled concerning Judas, which demonstrates that God’s purpose was realized even through the wicked intentions of Judas. This dual nature of human responsibility and divine sovereignty encourages believers to trust in God's ultimate plan, affirming that even wrongful acts can serve His glory and purposes.
