What does the Bible say about God's pleasure in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is ultimately an act of God's pleasure, not determined by human decision.

In Galatians 1:15, Paul emphasizes that his calling occurred 'when it pleased God,' indicating that salvation is an act initiated by God based on His divine pleasure. This highlights the Reformed understanding that God's will and purpose govern the salvation of individuals. Salvation isn't merely about human choices but reflects God's plan established before the foundation of the world, as suggested in Ephesians 1:4-5, where we see that He chose us in Christ according to His will.
