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

The doctrine of God's sovereignty asserts that He governs and decides all matters related to creation and individual lives. In John 5:21, we see that the Father gives life to whom He will, emphasizing God's authority over life and death. This indicates that human wills do not ultimately thwart God's plans; rather, God's omnipotent will prevails. Furthermore, the concept of God's sovereignty is central in Reformed theology, demonstrating that His decisions, including those related to salvation, are made apart from human merit or input, therefore affirming His ultimate authority in every aspect of existence.
