How does God's sovereignty relate to grace?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty undergirds grace by ensuring that salvation is entirely His work, devoid of human merit.

The relationship between God's sovereignty and grace is foundational in Reformed theology, affirming that salvation is a monergistic work of God, meaning it is accomplished solely by Him. Ephesians 1:4-5 states that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, reflecting His sovereign initiative in salvation. This points to the reality that grace is not dependent on human actions or decisions but stems from God's will and purpose. Therefore, His sovereignty guarantees that all who are called will come to faith, celebrating the grace that makes this possible.
