How do we know sovereign grace doctrine is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Sovereign grace doctrine is supported by scripture such as Romans 9:16 which states, 'It is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.'

The truth of sovereign grace doctrine is grounded in biblical scripture, notably Romans 9:15-16 where it is revealed that God's mercy and compassion are His prerogative. The essence of sovereign grace lies in the teaching that salvation is not a result of human will or effort but is entirely the work of God. This aligns with the principle of election, where God chooses whom to save based on His own purposes, illustrating His mercy toward the unworthy and ensuring that all glory is directed to Him. This understanding is vital for recognizing the full weight of God’s sovereignty in salvation.
