How does sovereign grace differ from Arminian theology?

Sovereign grace theology asserts that salvation is entirely the work of God, according to His sovereign will. It emphasizes that individuals are elected by God for salvation before the foundation of the world and that faith itself is a gift from God stemming from His grace. In contrast, Arminian theology places the ultimate decision of salvation in the hands of individuals, suggesting that it is by their own free choice that they can accept or reject God's grace. The Reformed perspective insists that God’s sovereignty is paramount in the process of salvation, highlighting verses like Romans 8:29-30 which showcase the unbroken chain of God's electing grace.
