How do we know that God is sovereign over all events?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all events, even those carried out by sinful people, which ultimately serve His divine purpose.

Sovereignty is a central theme in the Bible, particularly evident in the way God orchestrates events for His will, despite human sinfulness. In John 19:10-11, Jesus reminds Pilate that the authority he has is given from above, affirming that all human authority operates under God's ultimate control. Romans 8:28 further assures us that all things work together for good to those who love God, showcasing that God uses every circumstance, even suffering and sin, to fulfill His purposes. This truth provides comfort and assurance to believers, reminding us that nothing occurs by chance, and God's sovereignty reigns supreme in every aspect of life.
