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

Answered in 5 sources

God's sovereign grace is evident in His choice of individuals for salvation, as demonstrated in the healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda.

The truth of God's sovereign grace is rooted in Scripture, such as Ephesians 1, which describes God's predestining choice of individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world. In the case of the man at the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus specifically chose one man to heal, demonstrating that salvation is not based on human effort or merit, but on God's will and purpose. This individual was not seeking Jesus, nor was he able to initiate his own healing, illustrating the concept that God grants grace to whom He wills. The man's inability to enter the pool also symbolizes humanity's impotence in achieving righteousness without divine intervention.
