What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in the fall?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that God ordained the fall of Adam, as evidenced in Romans 9.

Romans 9 discusses God's sovereignty in the matter of election and reprobation, asserting that He has mercy on whom He will and hardens whom He will. This illustrates that the fall was not outside God's control but a part of His divine decree. The apostle Paul makes it clear that God's will is carried out according to His purpose, even in the existence of sin. God's sovereignty encompasses all events, including the fall of man, to fulfill His ultimate plan for redemption. Thus, the fall was ordained by God, as He had foreknowledge of it and provided reconciliation through Christ from before the foundation of the world.
