Salvation is a miracle because it is entirely the work of God's sovereign grace, drawing sinners to Himself who would not seek Him on their own.
The miraculous nature of salvation lies in its complete dependence on God's initiative rather than human effort. In the sermon, it's highlighted that Ruth's decision to leave Moab and seek refuge among God's people was not driven by her own choices but by God's grace compelling her. Similarly, each believer's awakening to their need for Christ and the subsequent response comes from God’s sovereign calling. According to Scriptures, God chose us before the foundation of the world, and it is His grace that enables us to hear and believe the gospel, thus transforming our lives. This underscores the miracle of redemption as God orchestrating salvation in the lives of the undeserving.
