How does God's sovereignty relate to His will?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty means that His will governs all things and is ultimately fulfilled, ensuring that nothing happens outside of His decree.

God's sovereignty is intimately linked to His will, as it asserts that He not only has a will but also the power to effectuate it. Isaiah 46:10 states that God declares the end from the beginning, highlighting His control over all creation and events. This absolute sovereignty signifies that nothing occurs outside of His decree, whether in life or salvation. Romans 9 underscores this by emphasizing that God has mercy on whom He wills, demonstrating His authority to direct salvation according to His divine purpose. Thus, God's sovereignty encourages believers to trust in His perfect plan, knowing that His will will always prevail.
