What does Romans say about God's sovereignty in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Romans emphasizes that salvation is solely God's work, based on His sovereign choice and mercy.

In Romans 8, Paul outlines the sovereignty of God in salvation by explaining that God works all things for good for those who love Him, asserting His divine purpose in calling individuals to salvation. This sovereignty extends to the election of believers, where Paul states, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.' Such passages in Romans affirm that salvation is not dependent on human will or effort but is a result of God's mercy and divine grace. It demonstrates that God's control over history and individuals ensures that His redemptive plan is realized perfectly.
