How does this sermon reflect sovereign grace theology?

Answered in 1 source

The sermon illustrates sovereign grace by highlighting God's unmerited love and selection of His elect, evidenced through the actions of the true mother and Solomon's wise judgment (1 Kings 3:16-28).

This sermon elucidates sovereign grace by emphasizing the unmerited favor that God bestows upon His chosen people. In the story of the two women, the true mother embodies the believer's response to God's grace—willing to lay down her rights for the sake of her child, mirroring Christ’s willingness to sacrifice for His people. Additionally, Solomon's wisdom is portrayed as a divine gift, underscoring the belief that true understanding and judgment are only possible through God’s grace. This reflects the broader theological conviction that salvation and wisdom are rooted not in human effort but in God's sovereign choice and love for His elect, thus aligning perfectly with the tenets of sovereign grace theology.
