How do we know God's sovereignty is true in the face of evil?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture assures us that God is in control, even amidst evil and suffering.
The sovereignty of God is a fundamental principle in Reformed theology, affirming that God is in complete control of all events in history, including those that appear evil or unjust. In Revelation 6, we see that the opening of the seals by the Lamb signifies the unfolding of God's divine plan. The presence of the four horsemen does not detract from God's sovereignty; rather, it illustrates that He uses trials, persecution, and even death to accomplish His purposes and to refine His people. For example, the martyrdom of believers is within God's sovereign plan, showcasing their faithfulness and His ultimate justice. By recognizing God's hand in all circumstances, we can trust Him during tough times, confident that every event in history is moving towards His ultimate glory.
