How do we know that God is sovereign in salvation?
Answered in 5 sources
The sovereignty of God in salvation is evidenced through His providential work in preparing individuals and sending preachers.
Throughout Scripture, God's sovereignty is consistent, particularly in the realm of salvation. Acts 8 illustrates this through the story of the Ethiopian eunuch, who was prepared by God to hear the gospel. God's providence is displayed in orchestrating events, such as sending Philip to meet the eunuch at just the right time. The Scriptures assert that God actively works in the hearts of His chosen ones, guiding them in their journey toward faith. For instance, Jeremiah 1:5 emphasizes God's foreknowledge and plan for individuals even before they are born, and 2 Timothy 2:19 states that the Lord knows those who are His. These passages assure believers that their salvation is ultimately God's doing, reflecting His sovereignty over all things.
