What does it mean that God is sovereign in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty in salvation means He unilaterally chooses to save whom He wills, ensuring that His purpose prevails (Ephesians 1:5).

The sovereignty of God in salvation is a foundational tenet of Reformed theology, affirming that God is in complete control of all aspects of salvation. Ephesians 1:5 states that God predestines individuals to be adopted as His children according to the purpose of His will. This sovereignty means that our salvation is not a matter of human choice or merit, but rather an act of grace bestowed by God. Believers can find comfort in this doctrine, knowing that their salvation is entirely assured by the unfailing will of a sovereign God who works all things according to His purpose.
