How do we know God's sovereignty over suffering is true?
Answered in 5 sources
We see God's sovereignty over suffering affirmed throughout the Bible, where He is depicted as both the orchestrator and sustainer of all events.
The sovereignty of God in the midst of suffering is a foundational belief in Reformed theology. Scriptures such as Isaiah 45:7, where God states, 'I form the light and create darkness; I bring prosperity and create disaster,' affirm that God is in control over all circumstances, including suffering. Furthermore, Romans 8:28 assures believers that 'in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' This illustrates that even amid trials and tribulations, God is actively working for our ultimate good, which reinforces the truth of His sovereignty over suffering.
