How do we know that God’s sovereignty is displayed in the cross?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty is evident in the cross as it orchestrates salvation through the predetermined plan of Christ's death for His people (Isaiah 45:7).
The cross vividly illustrates God's sovereignty as He governs all events, including the death of Christ. It was through the cross that God, in His providence, orchestrated the salvation of His elect. The Scripture states that God creates both the good and the evil, and this control encompasses even the most heinous acts, including the crucifixion of His Son (Isaiah 45:7). The power of God is evident not only in the act of redemption but also in His ability to utilize what is perceived as total evil to result in the greatest good: the salvation of His people. Therefore, the cross becomes a manifestation of divine sovereignty and a testament to God's eternal purposes.
