What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over evil?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible reveals that God is sovereign even over the actions of His enemies, orchestrating events according to His divine plan.
Throughout Scripture, it is clear that God reigns supreme over all creation, including those who oppose Him. In Acts 12, we see King Herod intending to harm the apostles, yet it is God who ultimately prevails, delivering Peter from prison despite Herod's schemes. This exemplifies the truth that no man nor angel can thwart God's sovereign purposes (Acts 12:24). The ultimate defeat of God's enemies, as seen in verses such as Psalm 2:4-6, demonstrates His ruling power over evil and reassures us of His control in tumultuous times.
