How do we know that salvation is by free and sovereign grace?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, given to those He chooses unconditionally.

The concept of salvation by free and sovereign grace is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in passages like Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast. This highlights that salvation is a divine gift rather than a human achievement. Furthermore, throughout Acts, especially in Acts 2:21, Peter proclaims that 'whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved,' emphasizing that this invitation extends universally, yet is undergirded by God's sovereign choice in who will respond. The grace of God is shown as unmerited and unconditional, fulfilling the promise of redemption for those chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5).
