How does a sinner get in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

A sinner is placed in Christ solely by God's sovereign choice, not by personal decision or works.

According to 1 Corinthians 1:30, it is solely by God's will that anyone is in Christ Jesus. This highlights the doctrine of divine election, where God chooses whom He will save. It emphasizes that salvation is not a result of human effort or decision but entirely a work of God’s grace. Such a perspective is fundamental to the historic Reformed view, asserting that it is God's sovereign will that determines our status in Christ, thereby reflecting the glory of His grace and mercy.
