How is divine intervention seen in the process of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Divine intervention is crucial, as it is God who enables individuals to believe and receive salvation.

Divine intervention is a fundamental aspect of salvation in the sovereign grace theology. The preacher emphasizes that without God's intervention, no one can believe the gospel (John 6:44). It is the Father who reveals grace unto the elect and enables them to respond positively to the call of the gospel, as highlighted in Matthew 11:25-26 where Jesus thanks the Father for hiding truths from the wise and revealing them to babes. This reinforces the idea that faith itself is a gift from God, as He actively works within His chosen to bring them to faith, demonstrating His sovereign authority in the plan of salvation. Belief is not an act of human free will but is given as part of God’s gracious purpose.
