How do we know grace is sovereign?

Answered in 7 sources

Sovereign grace is evident in scripture, as it teaches that salvation is entirely a work of God, not dependent on human will.

The concept of sovereign grace is deeply woven into the fabric of biblical theology. It is the assertion that God, in His sovereignty, decides whom to save and that this decision is not influenced by any merit or action on our part. Romans 9:15-16 elaborates on this point, where God declares, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This emphasizes that grace is not something we can earn or manipulate; it is a gift bestowed according to God's sovereign desire. Therefore, acknowledging God's sovereignty in grace leads us to a place of humility and gratitude as we recognize that our salvation is wholly a result of His unmerited favor.
