How does God's sovereignty relate to individual salvation?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty ensures that every individual whom He intends to save will ultimately come to faith.
The sovereignty of God plays a fundamental role in the doctrine of salvation. It affirms that God is in control of all aspects of redemption, as illustrated through Zacchaeus's encounter with Christ. The sermon emphasizes that before the world began, God had a plan for salvation that encompasses every sinner He has chosen to save. When God effectually calls a person, as seen in God calling Zacchaeus down from the tree, that individual will respond. This underscores the Reformed understanding of irresistible grace; God's call is sufficient and certain, ensuring that He will achieve His purposes in every aspect of salvation.
