How do we understand God's sovereignty in our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in salvation means that He alone saves according to His purpose, not based on our merits.

Understanding God's sovereignty involves recognizing that He is the one who sets the terms of salvation and executes His divine plan. Romans 2:6 states that God will render to every man according to his deeds. However, for those in Christ, all our deeds are seen as righteous because they are covered by Jesus’ sacrifice. This reality emphasizes that salvation is solely by grace through faith in Christ, not by our works. It reassures believers that it is God who initiates the faith and grants the grace to repent and believe, underscoring our dependence upon His divine will.
