How do we know that God is sovereign?

Answered in 7 sources

God's sovereignty is evident in Scripture, particularly in Psalm 115:3, which states, 'Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.'

The sovereignty of God means He possesses complete authority over creation and actively governs all things according to His will. Psalm 115:3 affirms that God acts according to His own pleasure, illustrating that He is not bound by our perceptions or limitations. The teachings throughout the Bible consistently point to a God who creates, commands, and controls, revealing His purpose through history and individual lives. Romans 1 also reminds us that the knowledge of God is inherent in creation, leaving mankind without excuse for acknowledging His sovereign rule. The acknowledgment of God's sovereignty leads to proper worship and submission.
