Salvation is by God's design, initiated before creation, and executed through Christ's accomplished work (Ephesians 1:4-5, Romans 8:28-30).
The sovereignty of God in salvation is a core aspect of Reformed theology, supported by scriptures like Ephesians 1:4-5, where we see that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This demonstrates that salvation is not an afterthought; it is part of God's eternal purpose. Romans 8:28-30 further illustrates God's purpose in salvation, as He foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified His people. Thus, it is evident that salvation is entirely of God, ensuring all glory is directed to Him alone.
