What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty and man's responsibility?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that while God is sovereign in His plans, humans are still responsible for their actions.

The Scriptures affirm a dual reality of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, as illustrated in Acts 2:23. Peter declares that Jesus was delivered by the foreknowledge of God, yet those who crucified Him acted according to their wicked desires. This means that God's predetermined plan coexists with human choices, emphasizing that while God orchestrates events for His glory and purpose, individuals are accountable for their sinful actions and decisions. This tension reflects the complexity of divine sovereignty working alongside human agency, capturing the essence of Reformed theology.
