The Bible illustrates that divine grace is sovereign and acts according to God's will, as seen in stories like Naaman's cleansing.
The concept of divine grace as sovereign is firmly established in Scripture, particularly in the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. God's grace is not dependent on human merit or actions; rather, it operates according to His divine will. This is emphasized when Naaman, despite being a great man, was a leper and needed God's grace for healing. Even more compelling is how Christ references this event in Luke 4:27, indicating that only Naaman, a Gentile, received cleansing, showing that mercy does not always align with human expectations. It demonstrates that God saves whom He wills, emphasizing the unearned favor of divine grace.
