What does the Bible say about God's power to save?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible reveals that God's power to save lies in His divine choice, the establishment of righteousness through Christ, and the regeneration of the believer.
Scripture emphasizes that God's power to save is not based on human decision but on His sovereign election. In Ephesians 1:4-5, we see that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. Furthermore, God's power establishes a perfect righteousness through the work of Christ, allowing for the justification of the ungodly (Romans 5:1). This saving power culminates in the regeneration of dead sinners to life, enabling faith and repentance, as seen in John 1:12-13 where receiving Christ is a divine act rather than a human effort.
