God sovereignly uses the actions of the wicked to fulfill His divine plans and to demonstrate His glory.
The Bible is clear that God is sovereign over all, including the actions of the wicked. Instances such as Pharaoh in Exodus and Judas Iscariot during the Passion of Christ illustrate how God utilized the choices of sinful individuals to achieve His ultimate purposes. Acts 2:23 tells us that Jesus was delivered up 'by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,' showcasing the interplay between divine sovereignty and human wickedness. Thus, even the evil actions of men cannot thwart God's plans, but rather serve to highlight His sovereignty and mercy as He brings forth His purposes through them.
