How does God dictate the terms of our salvation?

Salvation is fundamentally an act of God's sovereignty; He dictates its terms completely. Scripture teaches that before the foundation of the world, God chose Christ to be the Savior (Ephesians 1:4). It is through the Perfect Lamb, without blemish, that our sins are atoned (1 Peter 1:18-19). Our role is not to define how we might be saved, but to humbly accept the terms set forth by God—believing in His Son and trusting in His completed work. God’s sovereign grace underscores that our salvation is entirely His doing, and our obedience is a response to His grace.
