How do we know that God's will prevails in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's will prevails in salvation as it is solely by His mercy that anyone is saved, as emphasized in Romans 9:16.

In the context of salvation, Scripture makes it clear that it is not man’s will or effort that determines salvation but God's sovereign choice. Romans 9:16 states, 'So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.' This underscores the doctrine of sovereign grace, indicating that God's purpose and will are central to who is saved. Throughout the sermon, it is reiterated that salvation is not initiated by human will; rather, it is God's grace that enables any individual to come to Him. Thus, those who are saved can only attribute their salvation to God’s merciful will rather than their own actions or decisions.
