What does the Bible teach about God's sovereignty?

God's sovereignty is a core doctrine within Reformed theology, emphasizing His absolute control over the universe. Scriptures such as Psalm 115:3 declare, 'But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.' This signifies that nothing occurs outside of His will or oversight. In Romans 8:28, we see that 'all things work together for good to them that love God,' illustrating God's capability to bring about His purposes even through human actions and circumstances. This sovereignty does not negate human responsibility, yet it provides believers with the comfort and assurance that God is at work in all things, orchestrating history and personal lives for His glory and the ultimate good of His people (Ephesians 1:11).
