What does the Bible say about free and sovereign grace?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God's grace is both free and sovereign, exercising mercy as He wills without obligation.
The concept of free and sovereign grace is rooted in the Scriptures, particularly in Hebrews 2:16, which illustrates that Christ did not choose to save fallen angels but laid hold of the seed of Abraham—the elect among humanity. This shows us that grace is not extended universally or based on human merit; rather, it is determined by God's sovereign will. Romans 9:15 tells us, '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.' God's elective grace is a vital truth, underscoring His right and power in salvation, revealing His nature as an absolute sovereign.
