What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over betrayal?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's sovereignty encompasses all events, even betrayal, as seen in Judas Iscariot's actions.

In Matthew 26, Judas Iscariot sought to betray Jesus, and this act, while seemingly motivated by greed and malice, was not outside of God's sovereign plan. The scriptures highlight that everything pertaining to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion happened according to God's predetermined counsel and foreknowledge (Acts 2:22-23). This emphasizes that even the most grievous acts can be included within God's overarching purpose of salvation, showing His control over all circumstances.
