How does God use evil for His purposes?

Answered in 1 source

God uses the actions of evil men to fulfill His divine will without compromising His holiness.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty asserts that He is actively involved in the affairs of the world, including the actions of evil men. An example of this is seen in the story of Esther, where Haman plots against the Jews, yet these very actions serve God's purpose for His people. This theme is echoed in Acts 4:27-28, where the crucifixion of Jesus was predestined by God despite the wicked intentions of His perpetrators. This profound truth emphasizes that God can bring forth good from evil, orchestrating events to fulfill His redemptive plan, illustrating His omnipotent nature. This understanding should inspire Christians to trust in God’s ultimate control over all circumstances.
