How do we know God's sovereignty over evil is true?

Answered in 2 sources

We know God’s sovereignty over evil through scriptural teaching and examples of His control over all things.

Scripture consistently presents God as sovereign over every aspect of His creation, including evil actions. For example, the account of Joseph illustrates this sovereignty, where Joseph states that it was God who sent him to Egypt (Genesis 50:20), despite the malicious intent of his brothers. Similarly, Acts 2:23 asserts that the crucifixion of Christ, an act of moral evil, was within God's predetermined plan. Such examples affirm that God's providential oversight encompasses even the darkest actions, guiding them towards His righteous end.
