How does God use evil for His glory?

Answered in 1 source

God can overrule the wicked designs of men to fulfill His purposes and bring about good.

The account of the chief priests' conspiracy against Jesus illustrates how God sovereignly overrules human wickedness to accomplish His divine plan. Despite their efforts to eliminate Christ quietly, God's providence ensured that Jesus was crucified publicly during Passover, thereby fulfilling the prophecies forewarning of His sacrifice (Psalm 76:10). This shows that, ultimately, human attempts to thwart God's plans only serve to advance His purposes. For Christians, this serves as comfort amidst a chaotic world, affirming that all events are under God's control and work together for His glory, as nothing can thwart His sovereign will.
