Salvation is entirely the work of God, as He sovereignly chooses and enables individuals to believe in Him.
Salvation is fundamentally rooted in God's sovereign will and action. According to Ephesians 1:4-5, believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, emphasizing that one's salvation is predetermined by God's grace and purpose. Our natural state is one of rebellion against God (Romans 8:7), incapable of choosing Him without divine intervention. Therefore, it is God who must revitalize the hearts of sinners, allowing them to respond in faith, thus showcasing His sovereignty in the entire process of salvation. This perspective underscores the glorious reality that no one comes to faith without God first working in their heart to reveal His truth.
