What is the significance of God's will in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's will is central to salvation, demonstrating that it is by His sovereign purpose and grace, not human effort.

The doctrine of God's will in salvation underscores that salvation is rooted in God's sovereign purpose, not in human decision or effort. John 1:12-13 states that those who become children of God do so not by human will but by the will of God. This understanding affirms that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, effectively countering any notion that individuals could initiate or contribute to their redemption. It provides believers with confidence that their salvation is secure because it rests upon God's unchanging will and purpose, as stated in Ephesians 2, which teaches that we are saved by grace through faith—not of ourselves, but as a gift from God.
