How do we know God's sovereign grace is true?

Answered in 12 sources

God's sovereign grace is evident in His purposeful choice and actions towards sinners, as evidenced in Scripture passages like Ezekiel 16, showcasing His initiative in salvation.

The truth of God's sovereign grace is illustrated through His dealings with both Israel and the Church, where the lost are depicted as helpless infants unable to save themselves. As seen in Ezekiel 16, God's character is revealed through His initiative to love and redeem those cast aside. The consistent message of the Bible affirms that it is God who moves first to choose and save sinners. The doctrine of sovereign grace asserts that because of God's unchanging nature, He acts according to His will and purpose, giving grace to those He has chosen for salvation. It is not rooted in human effort or merit but purely in God's sovereign decision to rescue the undeserving.
