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

Answered in 4 sources

God's sovereignty over sin is affirmed throughout Scripture, revealing that all events, including the fall, occur according to His divine decree.

The concept of God's sovereignty over sin is clearly depicted in biblical texts that indicate nothing happens outside of God's will. For instance, Romans 5 discusses how Adam's sin was intentionally used by God to pave the way for Christ's redeeming work. This acknowledgment of divine purpose asserts that God decrees all that happens in His creation, including the enterprisal of sin and evil, yet still utilizes it for His glory and the ultimate good of His elect. This profound narrative does not mean God is the author of sin, but rather that He permits it within His sovereign plan to reveal His grace and mercy through redemption.
