God's sovereignty in salvation means that He predestines and draws individuals to Himself, granting them faith to believe.
The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that God is the initiator of salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 outlines that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, emphasizing that salvation is not a result of human decision or effort. John 6:44 states, 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,' confirming that belief and faith originate from God. Acts 13:48 further illustrates that those who believe were ordained to eternal life, affirming that God's sovereignty governs who is saved. This understanding allows believers to rest in the assurance that their faith is not contingent upon their performance but upon God's gracious will and purpose.
