What does it mean that God saves who He will?

Answered in 1 source

It means God's sovereignty dictates His choice in who receives salvation, emphasizing mercy over merit.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty in salvation asserts that He chooses those whom He will save, as expressed in Romans 9:15, 'For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.' This pivotal truth reinforces the notion that salvation is not based on human will or effort but is a gift from God. It highlights the grace involved in salvation—a grace that is selective and unconditional, drawing a specific people to Himself according to His divine will.
