How do we know God gets all the glory in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that salvation is entirely a work of God, with no contribution from humankind.

The assertion that God receives all the glory in salvation stems from the biblical understanding that we have no role in our own redemption. As articulated in Romans 9:11, the purpose of God according to election stands not of works, but of Him who calls. This emphasizes that salvation is not about human effort but entirely about God's grace and mercy. The Apostle Paul made it clear in his letters that the gospel centers on the work of Christ alone, which reinforces this point. Any attempt to take credit for salvation undermines the very essence of the gospel, highlighting that it is God's divine plan from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Thus, our response as believers is to glorify God for His work in saving us.
