How do we know that God's plan cannot be frustrated by evil?

The Bible consistently illustrates that God is not only sovereign over good but also has authority over evil. In the face of opposition, like that from Pharaoh and Satan, God's ultimate purpose remains intact. In Acts 8, the persecution of the early church, instigated by Satan, resulted in the spread of the Gospel rather than its suppression. This reflects the profound truth found in Romans 8:28, where we see that all things—including evil—work together for the good of those who love God. The historical accounts of opposition, such as Satan attempting to thwart the lineage leading to Christ, reveal God's perfect ability to use even the malice of evil for effective good in His salvation history.
