How do we know that God's sovereignty is crucial to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty ensures that salvation comes from Him alone, as He chooses whom to save according to His divine purpose.

The sovereignty of God is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation, as illustrated in the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10. The passage reveals that funneled through a large crowd, God specifically ordained Bartimaeus' encounter with Christ. Ephesians 1:4 states that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This reveals that salvation initiates from God's sovereign will, not from human effort or decision. Thus, understanding God's sovereignty in salvation provides believers assurance that their salvation is securely rooted in His unwavering purpose and grace.
