Can we choose to accept sovereign grace?

Answered in 1 source

No, the acceptance of sovereign grace is not based on human choice, but rather on God's sovereign decision to grant grace.

Sovereign grace teaches that human will cannot initiate or accept salvation; rather, it is God's initiative that saves. Ephesians 1:4 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, emphasizing that our position in Christ is not due to our decision but solely on His electing love. By nature, we resist God's grace until He intervenes, bestowing the ability to have faith and repentance. This concept aligns with the doctrine of irresistible grace, which affirms that when God calls, His people will come to Him, as they are made willing by His Spirit.
