How do we know that God saves men by sovereign grace?

Answered in 1 source

We know God saves men by His sovereign grace because Scripture clearly teaches that salvation is not based on human will or effort but solely on God's purpose and grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The doctrine of sovereign grace asserts that God alone is responsible for the salvation of His people, having chosen them before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This highlights that human merit does not play a role in salvation. Instead, it is God's sovereign choice and action that initiates and secures salvation, demonstrating His mercy and grace. Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, God's sovereign hand is evident in the calling and redeeming of His elect.
