How does God's providence work in salvation?

God's providence is the doctrine that describes His sovereign control over all events in creation, including the salvation of individuals. In the sermon, it is highlighted that Jesus' passing by Matthew was not mere coincidence; it was a part of God's divine plan. Romans 8:28 states that 'all things work together for good to them that love God,' showing that God's providence orchestrates our circumstances for the fulfillment of His will. This means that every encounter, every moment is part of God's careful arrangement leading us to salvation. In this light, the events of our lives become significant, revealing God's grace in calling us to Himself.
