Salvation and the Sovereignty of God

– The Sovereignty of God –

Paul J. Bucknell

Salvation and the soverignty of GodIntroduction: Why do so many people struggle over free will in salvation when thinking of the sovereignty of God? We can admit our ignorance but we must refuse to deny clear biblical truths.

Salvation & the Sovereignty of God

God saves sinners who do not care God and righteousness.

“None seeks for God” (Rom 3:11).

God chooses ahead of time those who will be saved.

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world” (Eph 1:4 ) => Bible study questions

Man is spiritually dead.

“Mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God” (Rom 8:7). Ephesians 2:1-3.

God regenerates man and thus causes new life which desires spiritual things.

“Born of the Spirit” (John 3:8). God brings about new life.

Man is called to repent and believe.

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mat 4:17).

Man can actively place his faith in Christ, “Many more believed because of His word” (John 4:41). => Election and salvation

   regenerate and salvation

Conclusion: God saves and yet man believes.

Both God and man are involved in salvation. Man, however, cannot save himself. God so works in man’s heart that he is able and desirous of believing upon Christ. Without this work, he would not choose God.
