How do we know that God's sovereignty includes salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty in salvation is evidenced in Scripture, where it states that He chose those whom He will have mercy on, regardless of human merit.

The sovereignty of God in salvation is a central theme in Scripture. The Bible articulates that it is not dependent on human will or effort but on God's mercy—Romans 9:16 states, 'So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.' This means that God's grace is the sole reason for anyone's salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 affirms that believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him, emphasizing that salvation is planned by God rather than achieved by human actions. It is through God's sovereign choice that people come to faith, demonstrating His authority over all things, including the hearts of men.
