How do we know God's sovereignty in suffering is true?

Answered in 6 sources

God's sovereignty in suffering is affirmed throughout Scripture, showing that trials are under His control and serve a divine purpose (Romans 8:28).

The doctrine of God's sovereignty is a central tenet of Reformed theology, as affirmed in Romans 8:28, which states that all things work together for good for those who love God. This includes our suffering and trials. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, Paul illustrates that even in deep distress, God is sovereignly at work, using our afflictions to bring us to trust in Him alone. Our trials are part of His overarching plan to conform us to the image of Christ and teach us reliance on His grace.
