How do we know God has the power to save?

God’s sovereignty is a cornerstone of salvation in Christian theology. In the context of Jesus healing the man with the withered hand, we see the Lord demonstrating His authority over the Sabbath and ultimately over salvation itself. He confronted the Pharisees about the law, emphasizing that it is lawful to do good, showcasing His power as the one who saves. The power of God to save is not contingent upon human decision-making but rather upon His divine will and purpose. Thus, when we preach the gospel, we recognize that salvation is accomplished by God’s sovereign grace through Christ, not by our efforts.
