How do we know that grace is sovereign?

Answered in 6 sources

Sovereign grace is evident in the fact that our salvation depends entirely on God's choice and not on human effort (Romans 9:16).

Sovereign grace asserts that God's grace is the unmerited favor bestowed upon the elect, independent of any human action or decision. Romans 9:16 states, 'It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.' This scripture illustrates that it is divine mercy alone that leads to salvation, pointing to God's sovereign control over the salvation process. Sovereign grace indicates that God initiates and completes the work of salvation in His chosen ones, ensuring that grace alone is the means of salvation.
