How does sovereign grace theology view free will in relation to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Sovereign grace theology teaches that salvation is by God's choice, not human free will.

Sovereign grace theology firmly upholds that salvation originates from God's sovereign will and choice rather than human free will or effort. Scripture emphasizes that God elects whom He will save based on His mercy alone (Romans 9:15-16). This understanding presents a radically different view from Arminianism, which posits that individuals must choose to accept grace. In contrast, Reformed theology teaches that true faith and repentance are gifts from God, leading to a complete dependence on His grace for salvation, highlighting God's glory rather than human achievement.
