What does the Bible say about God's sovereign will?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms that God's sovereign will orchestrates all events according to His purpose (Acts 18).
Scripture presents God's sovereign will as the divine force guiding all events and actions within the universe. For instance, in Acts 18, we see Paul's journey to Corinth is a direct result of God's providential will, as He moves people and orchestrates circumstances to fulfill His plan. This is evident when Paul encounters Aquila and Priscilla, whose relocation to Corinth was caused by the emperor’s decree, yet fulfilled God's purpose to introduce them to Paul. Ephesians 1:11 emphasizes this concept, stating that God works all things according to the counsel of His will, demonstrating that nothing occurs outside His sovereign decree.
