How does God's sovereignty relate to human evil?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty ensures that even human evil serves His ultimate purpose and goodness.

The story of Joseph vividly depicts how God orchestrates events, including human evil, for good. When Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, their actions were driven by malice, yet Joseph boldly asserts in Genesis 50:20 that 'as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.' This highlights a core principle in sovereign grace theology: God’s absolute sovereignty governs all events, including sinful actions, and is ultimately used to fulfill His divine purpose. The truth that God can use even the worst human actions to bring about His ordained good demonstrates His power and control over history.
