How do we know God's sovereignty in our salvation is true?

Answered in 7 sources

God's sovereignty in salvation is affirmed through scripture, particularly the understanding that we are unable to seek God on our own.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty in salvation is rooted in biblical teachings, such as in Romans 3:10-12, which states, 'There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.' This highlights our natural state of rebellion and inability to seek God. Furthermore, Titus 3:3-4 describes our foolishness, disobedience, and the kindness of God that leads to salvation, emphasizing that God initiates the process of saving us. It is through His sovereign will and mercy that we are drawn to Him. Therefore, the conviction of God's sovereignty is supported by our own total depravity and His gracious intervention.
