How do we know salvation is by the sovereign will of God?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that salvation is entirely at the sovereign discretion of God, emphasizing that it is not based on human will or effort.

The doctrine of sovereign grace underscores that salvation is not a result of human choice or works, but entirely the sovereign act of God. Ephesians 1:4-5 clearly states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, highlighting that our salvation is rooted in His divine election and purpose. Furthermore, Romans 9:16 asserts, 'So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.' This clearly communicates that God's mercy, not our actions, determines our salvation, demonstrating the biblical foundation of sovereign grace.
