How does God accomplish His will through rebellion?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty allows Him to work His divine will through human rebellion, showcasing His power and purpose (Acts 4:26-28).

The sermon illustrates that, even when met with rebellion, God's purpose remains intact. As seen in Acts 4:26-28, the actions of earthly rulers in opposition to Christ paradoxically fulfill God's predetermined plan. This reveals a profound aspect of God’s sovereignty: He is not taken aback by human resistance or rebellion; instead, He uses it to demonstrate His unmatched power. The narrative of Pharaoh and the stiff-necked Israelites exemplifies this truth, with their defiance contributing to the magnification of God's glory and the fulfillment of His promises. In experiencing God's sovereign hand over rebellion, believers can find assurance that all events, even those which appear contrary, work together for the good of those called according to His purpose.
