How do we know that God's sovereignty is in persecution?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in persecution is demonstrated as it serves to spread the gospel, as seen in Acts 8, where the church was scattered but continued to preach.

The concept of God's sovereignty, particularly in the context of persecution, is evidenced in Acts 8:1-4. Though Saul's actions were intended to harm the church, they inadvertently fulfilled God's purpose of spreading the gospel beyond Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria. This shows that God can use even the most adverse circumstances to accomplish His divine will. Theologically, this aligns with the understanding that all things, including suffering and persecution, work together for the good of those who love God (Romans 8:28). Hence, believers can trust that God is at work, even in suffering, to advance His kingdom.
