How do we know that God's sovereignty is involved in conversion?
Answered in 1 source
Conversion is an act of God's sovereignty, as He determines who will hear and respond to the gospel, exemplified in the case of Lydia in Acts 16.
The sovereignty of God in conversion is affirmed in Acts 16, where Paul and his companions were selectively led by the Holy Spirit to preach in Macedonia. Despite their desires to preach elsewhere, God directed them to Lydia, showing that He controls the circumstances of salvation. This is a testament to the doctrine that it is God who calls and enables individuals to respond to the gospel. Lydia's conversion was not accidental but was part of God's divine plan for her life. Furthermore, the New Testament frequently illustrates the necessity of God's sovereign grace in opening hearts and eyes to the truth of the gospel.
