How do we know that salvation depends on God's will?

The foundation of our salvation lies in the sovereign will of God, not in our works or faith. Ephesians 1:4-5 indicates that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This means that our salvation is not accidental but is part of God's eternal plan. Additionally, the ongoing narrative of scripture illustrates that God decided, by His grace, to save a specific people for His glory. The assurance of salvation is anchored in God’s unchanging purpose, which cannot be thwarted by human failure.
