How does God ensure that some are saved?

Answered in 1 source

God ensures some are saved through His sovereign choice and the provision of grace, which brings a remnant to faith and repentance.

Isaiah 17:7-8 depicts a scenario where men will finally turn to their Maker, indicating a divine initiation of faith. This aligns with the historic Reformed belief that salvation is not a passive event but requires God's active work in the hearts of the elect. When the 'strong cities' and 'fortresses' are stripped away, individuals are faced with their need for God, allowing His grace to shine through despair. This is reinforced by the understanding that only through God's sovereign grace are sinners able to turn from their idols to the true God. Thus, His purpose prevails, ensuring that He will accomplish His will to save a remnant.
