How do we know that the doctrines of sovereign grace are true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrines of sovereign grace are rooted in Scripture, affirming that salvation is solely through Christ's work, not our own.

The truth of sovereign grace is grounded in the Scriptures that affirm God's sovereignty in salvation. For instance, passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5 and Romans 8:28-30 highlight God's eternal plan in choosing and redeeming His elect. The Bible consistently emphasizes that humans contribute nothing to their salvation; rather, it is entirely a work of God's grace. This ensures that no man can boast in his own merits (Ephesians 2:8-9). Furthermore, Christ's teaching throughout the New Testament reinforces the idea that faith and repentance are gifts from God. Hence, the doctrines of sovereign grace glorify God as the ultimate author of our salvation, providing assurance and hope to believers.
