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

Answered in 22 sources

The Bible states that God's will in salvation is that all whom the Father has given to the Son will come to Him, and He will never cast them out (John 6:37).

In John 6:39-40, Jesus reveals that the Father's will is that of all those given to Him, none will be lost, but raised up at the last day. This signifies that salvation is entirely in God's hands, not due to any human will or effort. Romans 9:16 emphasizes that it is not of him who wills or runs, but of God who shows mercy, thereby affirming that our salvation rests upon God's sovereign grace and purpose rather than our own decisions or actions.
