How do we know the sovereignty of God in our salvation is true?
Answered in 1 source
We see the sovereignty of God in salvation through Scripture, which affirms that our being in Christ is established by God's will and purpose, not by our actions.
The doctrine of God's sovereignty in salvation is foundational across Scripture. For instance, in Ephesians 1:4-5, Paul writes about believers being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, confirming that our union with Him is a divine purpose executed by God's will. It is not based on human effort or merit but on God's love and immutable purpose. This underscores the reality that salvation is entirely of the Lord, designed to eliminate any grounds for boasting in ourselves. The sovereignty of God not only affirms our security in salvation but also enhances our understanding of God's nature – powerful, purposeful, and merciful.
