How can we be sure that our salvation depends on God's ability?

Answered in 1 source

Our salvation is solely based on God's ability, not our own efforts or merits.

The doctrine of salvation affirms that it is entirely a work of God's grace. Scripture clearly states that it is not based on our works but on His mercy. Romans 9:16 articulates that 'So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.' This means our salvation relies completely on God's sovereign decision and power to save. Understanding this humbles us and shifts our focus from self-reliance to depending fully on Christ’s righteousness, as expressed in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where it states that by God's will we are in Christ, who is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
