Salvation is a work of grace, rooted in God's sovereign choice, ensuring that all whom He has chosen will come to faith.
Salvation as a work of grace is grounded in the doctrine of election, where God chooses specific individuals to receive His mercy. This grace is not dependent on any action or decision made by the individual but solely on God's sovereign will. The joyful sound of the gospel announces this grace, assuring us that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient and effective for those whom the Father has given Him. The assurance of salvation flows from understanding that God's grace enables the elect to see and believe the truth of the gospel, effectively granting them faith as a gift.
