How do we know Jesus' sovereignty in salvation is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' sovereignty in salvation is evident in His purposeful ministry to the elect, as seen in His words about coming for the lost sheep of Israel.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that Jesus stated, 'I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel' (Matthew 15:24). This declaration underlines the sovereign choice of God in salvation, indicating that Jesus came specifically for those whom the Father had chosen. The purposefulness of Christ's ministry exemplifies that He does not aim to save all, but rather the elect, confirming the concept of individual election in salvation. This is consistent with Reformed theology, which posits that salvation is fully dependent on God's grace and sovereign will, rather than human effort or merit. Understanding this provides a deep assurance of the efficacy of Christ's redemptive work.
