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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God saves us of His own will, as seen in James 1:18.

In James 1:18, we see a foundational truth regarding salvation: "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth." This emphasizes that salvation is not a product of human decision or effort but is entirely initiated by God's sovereign will. The concept of being 'begotten' by God's will indicates that our new birth into eternal life is a gift bestowed solely by God, independent of any action on our part. Therefore, the process of regeneration and salvation is deeply rooted in the sovereignty of God, affirming that He elects His people according to His own purpose without any foreseen merit.
