Salvation reflects God's sovereignty as it is entirely His work and cannot be attained by human effort.
Salvation is a manifestation of God's sovereignty, clearly outlined in the Scriptures. It begins with God's intentional purpose and planning of salvation for His elect, as stated in Ephesians 1:4-5. The notion that salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9) underscores that it is not initiated by human decisions. God's sovereignty ensures that He calls whom He wills, granting them the gift of faith and repentance. This also means that genuine salvation leads to a lifestyle of discipleship and continual following of Christ, evidencing that salvation is not just a one-time decision but an ongoing transformative journey orchestrated by God Himself.
