How do we know that God is in control of our salvation?

The control God exercises over salvation appears throughout Scripture, as seen in Exodus 7:1-6 where God tells Moses that He will harden Pharaoh's heart. This hardening serves a purpose: to demonstrate God's power and eventually lead to the liberation of His people. Similarly, Romans 1:20 speaks of God’s attributes being apparent, implying that humanity is without excuse regarding His sovereignty. The message is clear: God's authority doesn’t only govern the world; it also governs the hearts and minds of men, ensuring none can resist His will when He decides to act in their hearts.
