How do we know that God is sovereign over salvation?

Answered in 14 sources

We know God is sovereign over salvation because Scripture affirms His election of individuals for salvation, as outlined in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5.

The sovereignty of God in salvation is a foundational tenet of Reformed theology. Ephesians 1:4-5 reveals that God has chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, indicating His sovereign choice. Additionally, 2 Thessalonians 2:13 reinforces this concept by stating that God chose us for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. This illustrates that our salvation is entirely an act of God's grace and not based on our own merit or decision, thereby highlighting His ultimate authority in the matter.
