The Bible affirms that salvation is entirely by God's sovereign grace, emphasizing that it is God who elects, atones, and regenerates His chosen people.
Sovereign grace is rooted in the biblical truth that salvation originates solely from God. Key scriptures such as Ephesians 1:4-5 illustrate that God chose His people before the foundation of the world. This sovereignty extends through Christ's atoning work, where He died specifically for those chosen, and the Holy Spirit's role in regeneration—the act of bringing the elect to spiritual life, as noted in John 3:3. Salvation is thus a divine initiative, underscoring that it is fundamentally 'of the Lord' (Jonah 2:9).
