How do we know God causes us to triumph in Christ?

In 2 Corinthians 2:14, Paul declares, 'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.' This triumph comes not from our efforts or abilities but from what Christ has accomplished on our behalf. The passage emphasizes that our victories manifest in our witness for Him, wherein we reflect the 'savor of His knowledge' in every place. This asserts the foundation of sovereign grace theology, affirming that all aspects of our salvation and subsequent triumph are rooted in God's initiative and grace rather than human effort.
