God's sovereignty in salvation is affirmed by Scripture, particularly in passages that highlight predestination and effectual calling, demonstrating God's active role in redeeming His people.
The doctrine of God's sovereignty in salvation is foundational to Reformed theology, supported widely by Biblical texts. Scriptures such as Romans 8:29-30 and Ephesians 1:4-5 evidence this belief, outlining God's predestining work in choosing His people before the foundation of the world. Additionally, John 6:44 reiterates that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them, establishing that human will is not the initial mover in salvation but rather a response to God's prior action. This assures us that salvation is not contingent on human choices but is securely held in God's sovereignty, confirming that those who are truly His will come willingly when called by His grace.
