Is God sovereign over death?

Is God sovereign over death? from Christian Truth Sovereignty is defined as “supreme power or authority.” God is sovereign over all, because He is God. Therefore, by default, He is sovereign over death. He knows the number of our days (Psalm 39:4). The term sovereignty holds different meanings for different people, so it is helpful to define what sovereignty is and how it looks in practice.

WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD? by Michael Horton for Core Christianity In answering this question, it’s helpful for us to return to the “facts of the case.” Here, speculation is useless. It does not matter what we thought reality was like: whether we believed in thirty gods or none. It doesn’t matter what we find helpful, meaningful, or fulfilling. This is not about spirituality or moral uplift. Something has happened in history and we cannot wish it away. It either happened or it did not…
