How do we know that God allows offenses to take place?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that God has purposed offenses for His glory and the benefit of His elect as a means of growth and discernment.

In Luke 17:1, Jesus states that offenses must come, indicating that they are part of God's sovereign plan. The Bible affirms that God uses offenses to delineate true believers from false ones, serving His purposes and ultimately leading to the salvation and growth of His elect. As highlighted in passages like 1 Corinthians 11:19, God employs these situations to strengthen faith and promote endurance among His people. This understanding reassures believers that nothing is beyond God's control, as even human failures and sins are woven into His divine plan for righteousness and glory.
