How do we know that God's choice is sovereign?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that God's choice is sovereign and unconditional, as demonstrated through Rahab's election and salvation.

We understand God's sovereign choice through the lens of Scripture, which consistently illustrates that salvation is an act of God's free will. In Rahab's case, she was chosen by God despite her sinful background, illustrating that His election is not based on human merit or foreseen faith. Romans 9:11-16 emphasizes that God's purpose according to election stands, reinforcing that it is not the one who wills or runs, but God who shows mercy. Rahab's faith was a response to God's prior choice of her, showcasing that God initiates salvation, and our faith is a result of His working in us. This understanding is foundational for the doctrine of sovereign grace, affirming that God's will prevails in all matters of redemption.
