Why do Christians believe in the sovereignty of God?

Answered in 3 sources

Christians believe in God's sovereignty because Scripture affirms that He rules over all creation and orchestrates every event.

The belief in God's sovereignty is central to Reformed theology and is rooted in various Scripture passages that affirm God's complete control over creation. For instance, Ephesians 1:11 states that God 'works all things according to the counsel of His will.' This sovereignty encompasses everything, including the salvation of His people, confirming that God is not only aware of events but actively governing them for His glory and the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Embracing God's sovereignty offers Christians profound comfort and assurance, knowing that nothing happens outside of His divine plan, thus fostering a deeper trust in His decisions and providence.
