How do we know God's grace is sovereign and free?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is demonstrated as sovereign and free through His choice of individuals for salvation, independent of their merit.

Sovereign grace emphasizes that God chooses those whom He will save according to His purpose, not based on any foreseen action or faith on their part. In the sermon, it's highlighted that though Ephraim and Judah were both guilty of idolatry, God chose to show mercy to Judah, illustrating that salvation is entirely an act of God's sovereign grace. This teaching aligns with the Reformed understanding that grace is not contingent upon human effort but is a free gift bestowed by God to sinners, ensuring that no one can boast in their own works.
