How do we know that God ordains all events for His purpose?

Scriptural evidence demonstrates God's sovereignty over all events, including those that appear evil. In the narrative of the crucifixion, the combined efforts of the Pharisees and Sadducees to kill Jesus were ordained by God for a greater purpose—namely, the salvation of sinners through His sacrifice. Genesis 50:20 reveals this truth when Joseph tells his brothers, 'You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.' This principle reiterates that while humans may have malicious intent, God’s sovereign will ultimately prevails for His glory and the redemption of His people.
