The truth of sovereign grace is confirmed through Scripture, which illustrates God's definitive initiative in salvation and His control over all aspects of our lives.
Sovereign grace is rooted in the biblical narrative that emphasizes God as the primary actor in salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms that it is by grace we have been saved through faith, and this is not of ourselves but a gift of God. Romans 9:16 underscores that salvation does not depend on human will or effort but on God's mercy. The doctrine illustrates that God, in His sovereignty, chooses and calls His people, and throughout Scripture, we see His workings in the history of Israel, culminating in Christ's finished work on the cross. These teachings are reiterated through the writings of the Apostle Paul, affirming that our trust in God’s grace is both evidential and transformational.
