How do we know the sovereignty of God in salvation is true?
Answered in 28 sources
The sovereignty of God in salvation is evident in scripture, where it states that He chooses whom He will save, demonstrating His ultimate authority over all things.
Scripture clearly teaches the sovereignty of God over salvation, affirming that it is God who initiates and completes the work of redemption. In Romans 9:15, God declares, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This denotes that God's grace is not dependent on human effort or decision, but solely on His divine will. Furthermore, throughout the teachings of Christ, we see that salvation is likened to the planting of a seed and the role of the preacher as someone who casts that seed, while the growth comes solely from God (1 Corinthians 3:7). Hence, believers can have assurance of salvation through God's sovereign will and purpose.
