How do we know God's sovereignty is important for salvation?

The importance of God's sovereignty in salvation cannot be overstated. It is God's will and plan that accomplishes the salvation of sinners. If it were solely up to human effort, there would be no hope. The sermon illustrates that our recognition of sin and misery is a result of God's sovereign work in our hearts. Without this divine initiative, we would remain lost in our sin, unwilling or unable to come to Christ. Therefore, acknowledging God's sovereignty is essential for understanding the assurance that He will bring His chosen ones to Himself.
