How do we know that salvation is sovereignly given and not based on human effort?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is demonstrated as sovereignly given by God in John 6:38-40, highlighting God's purpose.

The sovereignty of God in salvation is firmly rooted in Scripture, especially in John 6:38-40, where Jesus affirms that He came to do the will of the Father, ensuring that none of those given to Him will be lost. This reinforces the Reformed doctrine that salvation is not a result of human effort or decision but is entirely an act of God's grace. According to Ephesians 2:8, faith itself is a gift, further underscoring that salvation is grounded in God's will and purpose rather than in the will of man.
