How do we know Christ's sovereignty in salvation is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sovereignty in salvation is affirmed in Scripture, as He declares Himself to be the Alpha and Omega, having power over all salvation.

In Revelation 1:8, Christ repeatedly identifies Himself as the 'Alpha and Omega', denoting His eternal nature and sovereign control over all aspects of salvation. This title signifies that He is not only present at the beginning and end but also wields the ultimate authority in choosing whom He will save. Historic Reformed theology emphasizes that salvation is entirely God's work, and scripture supports this truth, showcasing that it is by His will, not ours, that we are saved. Therefore, believers can trust that His sovereign decree and power to save is not arbitrary but part of a divine plan that precedes time itself, encapsulated in Ephesians 1:4-5 where believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world.
