How do we know God's sovereignty over evil?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms God's sovereignty, as seen in Revelation 12:8-9, where Satan is cast out, illustrating that God controls even the actions of evil forces.

God's sovereignty over evil is a profound theological truth deeply embedded in Scripture. In Revelation 12:8-9, we observe that Satan, often portrayed as a powerful adversary, is ultimately cast out of heaven, symbolizing God's complete authority over him. This act signifies that while evil may have temporary power, it is under God's control and will ultimately be defeated. Furthermore, the tremendous assurance for believers lies in knowing that Christ triumphs over Satan and sin on their behalf, as seen in the depiction of Christ as the one who binds the strongman (Mark 3:27). This understanding gives believers hope and confidence in the face of spiritual warfare, knowing that God ordains even the attacks of Satan for His glory and their good.
