Sovereign grace is affirmed in Scripture, showing that God alone initiates and completes our salvation.
Sovereign grace is a central tenet of Reformed theology that underscores God's absolute authority in salvation. Scripture teaches that it is God who draws individuals to Himself, as seen in John 6:44, indicating that no one can come to Christ unless drawn by the Father. This divine initiative ensures that salvation is not a result of human free will or decision but rather a manifestation of God’s unmerited favor and purpose. The assurance of our justification and redemption rests securely in the finished work of Christ, as articulated in Ephesians 1:4-5, where God elects His people for salvation according to His will.
