What does it mean that God is working all things according to His will?
Answered in 1 source
It means that every event in history is under God's control and serves His divine purpose (Ephesians 1:11).
When we say that God is working all things according to His will, we affirm a foundational doctrine of Sovereign Grace theology: God governs every aspect of creation with a purpose that aligns with His eternal plan. Ephesians 1:11 clearly articulates that God orchestrates events to fulfill His intentions, reiterating that His will is supreme and unchanging. This truth means that believers can trust in the unfolding of God's plan, even amid difficulties, as every circumstance serves a greater divine purpose. This understanding also preserves the dignity and sovereignty of God, reminding us that human actions, while significant, exist within the context of His ultimate authority and design.
