How does God's sovereignty relate to human belief?

In Reformed theology, God's sovereignty is the cornerstone of understanding salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 explains that God chose individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world, as part of His divine will. This divine election is not arbitrary but is rooted in God's grace. Human belief, therefore, is not an autonomous choice but a response to God's initiative. Faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9) to those whom He has chosen, and this understanding impacts how believers view their own salvation and the evangelistic mission of the Church.
