How do we know that God is sovereign in our salvation?

The assurance of God's sovereignty in our salvation is founded upon His unchanging promises as outlined throughout Scripture, specifically in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5 which states that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. This demonstrates that our salvation is not a result of human decision or effort but solely of God’s merciful choice. It reflects His divine will being enacted in the lives of His people.

Additionally, God's sovereignty is confirmed through the work of Christ and the application of redemption to His elect. Jacob's experience, as he acknowledges God's providence even amid deceit and adversity, reflects how God supernaturally guides and preserves His people. The redemptive plan culminated in the person of Jesus Christ assures believers that their faith is a gift from God, further evidencing His total control over salvation history.
