How do we know that God's will prevails over man's free will?

Answered in 1 source

The Scriptures affirm that while man has a will, ultimately, God's sovereign will overrules all human actions.

In the narrative of Luke 23, we observe the rejection of Jesus by the crowds and the deliverance of Barabbas. Even though the crowd exercised their will to choose Barabbas, it was still under the sovereign plan and purpose of God. Acts 4:26-28 states that the rulers and people gathered to act against Jesus to fulfill 'whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.' This indicates that God's will is supreme and orchestrates all events, even the misused free will of man, ensuring that His purposes are accomplished. Thus, believers rest in the assurance that God is ultimately in control of all things.
