How does God’s sovereignty relate to sin?

When it comes to God and sin coexisting, the Bible continually declares that God is
always flawless and sovereign. God is clearly enraged since sin and evil are the result of
beings, not the Creator. Sin never thwarts his intentions, inhibits his ability to act, or prevents
him from committing the most heinous crimes. Sin and evil are dealt with in such a way that we
are compelled to continue to trust in God. As a result, presuming that God is unable or unwilling
to judge God before He judges evil is rendering the verdict prematurely. We must not pass
judgment on him until God has completed all his work, but we must trust him until sin and works
as we know them are abolished.

Furthermore, God's providence never allows evil to escape its grasp. To carry out his
noble cause, he works in an evil environment. The narrative of Jesus exemplifies this point. He
was also deceived, subjected to the greatest injustice in human history, and died on the Roman
crucifixion in disgrace. You could be tempted to wonder if God is not sovereign, if He has sinned
against Jesus, or if He is unable to prevent injustice at that point. However, three days later,
Jesus resurrected from the dead and atoned for the world's sins, demonstrating God's
sovereignty, goodness, and strength.

God utilizes evil freely selected from among Judah, Pilate, and the Jews to accomplish a
flawless objective, just as God used the Chaldeans to punish Judah and Jerusalem for their
constant crimes. This does not imply that he is to blame for their sins. They want to be able to
murder and destroy with impunity. The Lord of all providence, in cosmic irony, employs evil to
judge evil. In the same way that his hands brought Israel's punishment and Jesus' crucifixion, he
also brought redemption and resurrection in the midst of judgment and death.
