What does scripture say about human evil and God's ultimate plan?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture shows that while human actions can be evil, God can use those actions ultimately for good, as seen in Joseph's story (Genesis 50:20).
The Bible presents a profound truth about the interplay between human evil and God's sovereign plan. Genesis 50:20 highlights this when Joseph tells his brothers, 'As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.' This account illustrates how God can redirect human malice to fulfill His greater purposes. The crucifixion of Jesus is another powerful example, where the most heinous act of betrayal was transformed by God into the means of salvation for humanity. These narratives reinforce the sovereignty of God over all human affairs, assuring believers that no evil can thwart His divine purposes.
