How do we know that God is sovereign over our salvation?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty is affirmed through His covenant promises and actions throughout Scripture.
The sovereignty of God in salvation is foundational to Reformed theology, highlighted in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5 where it is stated that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This underscores that our salvation is not a result of our own efforts but a work initiated by God. Moreover, the phrase 'by Thee only will we make mention of Thy name' in Isaiah 26:13 encapsulates the essence of faith that recognizes God as the only source of salvation, much like the belief expressed by the apostles. In Acts 20:21, repentance and faith are presented as gifts of grace from God Himself, demonstrating His sovereign control over every aspect of salvation.
