How does justification relate to God's sovereignty?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is an expression of God's sovereignty, reflecting His authority to save and declare righteous whom He wills.

The doctrine of justification is intricately tied to God's sovereignty, as it is His divine right to declare whom He justifies. Romans 9:15 states, 'For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This underscores that God's sovereign will governs the process of justification. He chooses His elect and justifies them based on His perfect justice and mercy, ensuring that His plan of salvation is fulfilled according to His purpose. Thus, justification exemplifies His sovereign grace, showcasing His divine control over salvation.
