What does the Bible teach about God's sovereign grace?

Sovereign grace is the divine disposition of God that actively chooses to save some individuals purely based on His will and purpose, not based on their merits or actions. Ephesians 1:4-5 teaches that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, demonstrating this unmerited affection toward His elect. This grace is effectual and leads to the regeneration and salvation of those whom God has predestined. It underscores the belief that our salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace from start to finish, eliminating any notion of human effort in the redemption process.
