What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty?

Answered in 138 sources

The Bible reveals that God is completely sovereign over all creation, acting according to His will and purpose without being restrained by human actions (Isaiah 44:24).

Scripture asserts that God is sovereign and unchangeable. In Isaiah 44:24, it states, 'I am the Lord that maketh all things', articulating that He operates freely and independently of human will. Furthermore, Romans 9 illustrates God's absolute authority, where the Creator has dominion over His creation, likening Himself to a potter molding the clay. This sovereignty is not merely a theological concept; it is foundational to understanding the character of God and His purpose in salvation.
