How do we know that God's decree is central to sovereignty in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's decree is central to sovereignty in salvation as outlined in 1 Peter 1:18-20 and Acts 2:23, emphasizing that salvation is entirely God's work.

The sovereign grace of God in salvation is rooted in His eternal decree, which determines all that comes to pass, including the salvation of His elect. As noted in 1 Peter 1:18-20, this plan was established before the foundation of the world, affirming God's sovereignty and purpose. Additionally, Acts 2:23 illustrates that Christ's crucifixion occurred according to God's definite plan and foreknowledge. This teaches us that salvation is not based on human effort or decision but is a gracious work of God, revealing His character as the ultimate authority in redemption.
