What does the Bible say about God using sin for good?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God sovereignly overrules sin for the benefit of His people, as seen in Romans 8:28.

According to Romans 8:28, God causes all things, including sin, to work together for good to those who love Him. This includes even the wicked actions of others and our own sinful inclinations, which can lead to greater dependence on God and a deeper appreciation for His grace. While sin itself is always evil, God's sovereign plan ensures that it ultimately serves His redemptive purposes for His people, allowing them to grow in holiness and reliance on Him.
