How does God's sovereignty relate to human responsibility?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty does not negate human responsibility, as the Bible teaches that all men are accountable for their actions (Acts 4:27-28).

The harmony between God's sovereignty and human responsibility is a profound aspect of Reformed theology. While God ordains all that happens and is sovereign over His creation, people are still responsible for their choices and actions. Acts 4:27-28 illustrates this, showing that Herod and Pontius Pilate acted on their volition while performing God's predetermined plan. This tension invites believers to embrace both God's control and their active faith as a response to His revelation.
