How do we know that God's sovereignty is true in salvation?

Answered in 4 sources

God's sovereignty in salvation is evident in scripture, where He chose individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world, independent of any foreseen actions.

The sovereignty of God in salvation is a central tenet of Reformed theology, supported by numerous scriptures. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, which underscores that salvation is not based on human free will or foreseen merit but solely on God's sovereign choice. This doctrine ensures that our salvation is entirely of grace, as we cannot contribute to it in any way. As the preacher highlighted, God’s choice is not contingent on our actions; rather, it is His will that prevails, affirming that those He calls by His Spirit come to faith in Christ. This reflects the biblical teaching that all who believe do so because God has made them willing through His power.
