How do we know God's sovereignty is true from the story of Naaman?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Naaman illustrates that God's choices in salvation are sovereign and not based on human merit.

Naaman's healing illustrates the sovereignty of God's grace, as seen when the Lord chose to heal Naaman, a Gentile, rather than the lepers in Israel. Jesus referenced this in Luke 4:27, demonstrating that God’s mercy can extend beyond the boundaries of Israel, affirming His sovereign right to choose whom He will save. Naaman’s initial reliance on his own status and works parallels how many today assume their worthiness before God, but this story starkly presents that salvation is purely a divine act, affirming God's absolute sovereignty in the redemptive process.
