How do we know that God causes calamities?

Answered in 1 source

The Scripture affirms that God is the author of all judgments and calamities upon nations and individuals.

According to the biblical teaching, every calamity and judgment ordained by God is part of His sovereign plan. The sermon highlights that there is no judgment that occurs accidentally; every event is under God's providential control. As evidenced in Amos 3:6, 'When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?' This reflects the Reformed understanding of God's providence, asserting that He orchestrates all events, including calamities, to fulfill His righteous purposes. God's sovereignty means He actively engages in every event, ensuring that they serve His plan, even in calamity.
