What does the Bible say about the providential rule of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ rules over all things for the good of His church and the glory of His name.

The providential rule of Christ is a core belief in Reformed theology, demonstrating how God governs all events and circumstances in history. In Ephesians 1:20-22, it affirms that Christ is seated above all powers and rules over everything. The suffering experienced by the apostles in the book of Acts was not random but rather orchestrated by Christ's sovereign plan for His church. Every trial and difficulty contributed to the furtherance of the Gospel and the salvation of the elect, confirming that God's purposes are immutable and will always come to fruition as seen throughout the history of redemption.
