How does God's will relate to salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

God’s will is central to salvation; it is by His sovereign choice that we are saved.

The connection between God’s will and salvation is foundational in Reformed theology. Salvation does not depend on human effort or decision but rather on God’s sovereign will. Ephesians 1:4-5 illustrates that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, signifying that our redemption is rooted in His eternal purpose. This understanding brings profound comfort, affirming that our salvation is a result of God's initiative rather than human merit. Furthermore, Romans 8:29-30 outlines the golden chain of salvation, showcasing that those whom God predestined are also called, justified, and glorified, further affirming His sovereign hand in the entire process of salvation.
