Sovereignty of God in Christianity

Sovereignty of God is a Christian belief that God is in control of absolutely everything, all the time. When we talk about God's sovereignty, it means that He is always in charge and can never be challenged. God is so powerful that He does not need anyone's help and is able to do whatever He wants, when He wants and how He wants. God is all-knowing and all-powerful, so nothing happens without His permission because He knows and controls everything. One way to think about how this works is to imagine that God is like a parent and everything in the world is like His children. He watches over us and makes sure we are safe and happy. He knows what is best for us, so He gives us certain rules to follow, like obeying our parents and being kind to our friends. God loves us more than anyone else, and He wants us to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
