What does the Bible say about the sovereignty of the Son in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that the Son has been given power over all flesh to grant eternal life to those whom the Father has given Him (John 17:2).

John 17 articulates the sovereignty of the Son in salvation, indicating that He possesses authority over all humanity to grant eternal life specifically to those chosen by the Father. This concept underscores the divine plan where the Son's role is not merely advisory but authoritative, as seen in His words: 'As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.' Here, the text emphasizes that salvation is not extended universally but is particular to the elect, reinforcing sovereign grace theology's view that God's plans are definitive and effective.
