How do we know God's sovereignty in grace is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty in grace is demonstrated in His choice to show mercy to some, as exemplified in the account of Noah.
The doctrine of God's sovereignty in grace teaches that salvation is wholly an act of God's will, not of man's efforts or merits. This is evident in Scripture, as shown when God chose to look with favor upon Noah amidst a wicked generation. Noah's righteousness did not merit God's grace; rather, it was a result of God's sovereign choice and mercy. Romans 9:15-16 reinforces this idea by stating that God's mercy is given to whom He wills, emphasizing that it is not dependent on human desire or exertion. Therefore, God’s sovereignty in grace assures us that our salvation, from beginning to end, is a gift from Him.
