How do we know that God's grace is free and sovereign?
Answered in 1 source
God's grace is described in Isaiah 55 as freely available to all who thirst, emphasizing its sovereign nature.
In Isaiah 55:1, the Lord invites everyone who thirsts to come and buy without cost: 'Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters. And he that hath no money, come ye buy and eat.' This invitation reflects God's sovereign grace, which is freely offered to all who acknowledge their spiritual poverty. It reinforces the truth that salvation is not earned or purchased but is a gracious gift accessible to those who respond in faith. This aligns with the doctrine of irresistible grace in Reformed theology, where God extends His grace selectively yet freely to His elect, ensuring their salvation and fulfillment of His will.
