What is the significance of God's sovereignty in the atonement?

The sovereignty of God is a crucial aspect of the atonement, assuring us that His plans cannot be thwarted. Psalm 115:3 suggests that our God is in the heavens and He does whatever He pleases, which includes His choice of whom Christ would redeem. This perspective gives believers confidence that nothing occurs outside of God’s divine purpose, including the redemption of sinners. Since God's purpose cannot fail, the death of Christ guarantees that every person whom He intended to save will be brought to faith and ultimately justified.
