What does it mean that God is sovereign over evil?
Answered in 1 source
God’s sovereignty over evil indicates that He can use even the wicked actions of individuals to fulfill His divine purposes without compromising His holiness.
The sovereignty of God encompasses all aspects of existence, including the actions of evil individuals like Judas. Scripture illustrates that God's plans are so sovereign that even the betrayal of Christ, orchestrated by Judas for profit, ultimately served the divine purpose of redemption. This does not make God the author of evil, but rather showcases His power to bring about good from evil actions. Those who oppose God's will play a role in His plan, demonstrating that God is never caught off guard but is always in control, ensuring His ultimate glory and the good of His people.
