How does God's sovereignty relate to our sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty ensures that He actively sanctifies His people, not just enabling them but doing it Himself.

The relationship between God's sovereignty and sanctification is foundational in Reformed theology. God's sovereign will guarantees that He will accomplish the sanctification of His people. In 1 Thessalonians 5:24, it is declared that 'faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.' This indicates that sanctification is ultimately God's work in the life of the believer. While believers are called to pursue holiness, it is God who enables this process through the Holy Spirit, ensuring that His purposes for their transformation and growth in grace will be fulfilled. The interplay of divine sovereignty and human responsibility underlines God's glory in the work of salvation.
