How do we know God's sovereignty in our salvation?
Answered in 2 sources
We know God's sovereignty in salvation through Scripture, which declares that all aspects of salvation are initiated and completed by God (Ephesians 1:4-5).
Scripture strongly affirms God's sovereignty in the salvation of His people. Ephesians 1 indicates that before the foundation of the world, God chose His elect according to His purpose and the good pleasure of His will. This clearly shows that our salvation is not dependent on human decision or merit but is fully rooted in God's sovereign decree. Also, 2 Corinthians 5 emphasizes that our new nature and all things concerning our spiritual life originate from God, further substantiating the belief that He reigns over salvation from beginning to end. This understanding brings comfort to believers, as it ensures that their salvation is utterly secure in the hands of a sovereign God.
