How do we know salvation is by sovereign grace?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is by sovereign grace as it is taught throughout Scripture, demonstrating that it is not based on human effort but entirely on God's mercy and will.

The doctrine of sovereign grace states that salvation is entirely an act of God's unmerited favor. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that it is by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. This affirms that our salvation does not hinge upon our merits but is secured solely through the work of Jesus Christ. In preaching this gospel, we emphasize that God's grace is free and purposeful, meeting sinners in their need and providing them with a righteousness they cannot achieve on their own (Romans 3:23-24). Thus, the assurance of salvation rests on God's sovereignty rather than human efforts.
