How do we know God's sovereign will in salvation is true?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereign will in salvation is affirmed through Scripture, showing that He chooses and calls His people according to His purpose.

The doctrine of God's sovereign will in salvation is firmly established in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1 and Romans 9, which emphasize God's sovereignty over whom He wills to save. In 2 Timothy 1:9, it is stated that God has saved us and called us not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. This underscores that God’s election is a divine choice, illustrating that human effort or free will plays no part in our salvation. Furthermore, John 6:37-39 highlights that all whom the Father gives to Christ will come to Him, affirming that God's will ensures that none of His people are lost, rooting our confidence in the effectiveness of His redemptive plan.
