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

Answered in 4 sources

God's sovereignty over salvation is evident in Scripture, teaching that faith is a gift from God and that Christ's righteousness is imputed to the believer.

The doctrine of sovereign grace affirms that salvation is entirely God's work. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares that by grace we are saved through faith, and this is not our own doing; it is the gift of God. Additionally, Romans 4:5 states that God justifies the ungodly based not on works, but on faith. This means that God's elect are chosen and redeemed by His sovereign will, not by human effort or decision. The mystery of the gospel is revealed to those whom God has chosen, enabling them to believe and receive salvation through the righteousness of Christ. Therefore, we can trust in God's sovereignty as the foundation of our salvation.
