How do we know God's will is good?

Answered in 5 sources

We know God's will is good because He is sovereign and always does right according to His perfect justice (Genesis 18:25).

The belief that God's will is inherently good is foundational in Reformed theology. Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good for those who love God, and this is rooted in His sovereignty and purpose. God's will is characterized by righteousness and justice; as stated in Genesis 18:25, 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?' We may not always perceive the goodness of God's will in our immediate circumstances, but we can trust that He is working everything for our ultimate benefit and His glory. Even in trials, as seen in Job 13:15, we are called to trust Him, affirming that it will ultimately be well with our souls.
