How does God’s eternal plan relate to individual salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's eternal plan establishes that salvation is a work solely of His grace, not dependent on human decision (Ephesians 1:4).

God's eternal plan intricately ties to individual salvation, emphasizing that it is not based on the belief or actions of the sinner but rather on God's sovereign grace. Ephesians 1:4 states that we were chosen 'before the foundation of the world.' This indicates that salvation is a gift from God, orchestrated by His will and purpose, independent of human merit. The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that individuals are not saved by their choice to believe but by God's effective calling and grace that work within them. Thus, it is essential to recognize that salvation is entirely God-centered, not man-centered, which assures believers of His steadfastness and faithfulness in fulfilling His covenant promises.
