How do we know the truth of God's decrees?

The truth of God’s decrees is attested not only through the revelation of Scripture but also through the unfolding of history that aligns with biblical prophecy and promises. The momentous events of the biblical narrative reveal God’s unwavering purpose in choosing a people for Himself, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5. Even instances of apparent chaos—like the dissenters mentioned by Gamaliel—serve to highlight God's sovereignty as these movements prove transient against His eternal decree. Thus, we see that despite the presence of false leaders and movements, God's ultimate plan prevails.
