What does 'sovereign grace' mean?

Answered in 2 sources

Sovereign grace refers to the belief that God freely dispenses His grace to those He has chosen, independent of their works or merits.

Sovereign grace is the theological perspective that emphasizes God's sovereignty in the salvation of His elect. It teaches that God, in His mercy, selects individuals to receive His grace and that this selection is not based on any foreseen merit or action on the part of the chosen. As proclaimed in Romans 8:30, those whom God predestines, He also calls and justifies, ensuring that all His chosen people will come to faith. This view reassures believers that their salvation is entirely dependent on the grace and power of God rather than human effort, affirming the security and permanence of their relationship with Him.
