How do we know God commands our salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

God commands the salvation of His people, which is certain and secured in Christ through His sovereign grace.

The doctrine of irresistible grace teaches that God has decreed the salvation of His elect, ensuring that His will prevails. In the New Testament, we see this theme exemplified in Acts 2:23, where Peter identifies Jesus' crucifixion as part of God's 'determinate counsel and foreknowledge.' Furthermore, the Lord commands His people to come to salvation, illustrated in passages like John 6:44, where it is stated, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This suggests that God not only initiates but effectively brings to fruition the salvation of those chosen by Him. Our assurance in God’s salvation lies not in our actions but in His unfailing promise and power.
